Talk to Neuro Physician on What Causes Sudden Memory Lose

person-avatar

Asking for Someone Else, Father, Male, 65 years old, Gujranwala

My father is over 60 years old. Today, he suddenly started forgetting things. When he came home, he told us that he couldn’t remember certain things. This has never happened before. He is also experiencing a headache and a feeling of heaviness in his head, as if he is confused.

Could you please guide me on whether this is normal or could indicate a serious medical issue? What should we do in this situation?

Sudden memory loss in a 60 year old man is indicative of a stroke affecting areas of brain to do with memory like hippocampus or frontal or temporal lobe infarction that happens when a clot obstructs the blood supply of the part of the brain. This is like a heart attack that is caused by a blood clot in the coronary arteries. To diagnose a stroke we need to do a ct scan of brain but better still is MRI scan that shows more detailed and accurate picture.Better get the MRI asap to confirm so that further investigation and treatment can commence as soon as possible
