You know what you want to say, but can\u2019t remember the word. You forget the name of a favorite movie. You\u2019re about to leave for an appointment, but you can\u2019t find your car keys or phone.<\/p>\n<p>Frequent forgetfulness or <a href=\"http:\/\/healthlibrary.osfhealthcare.org\/Search\/1,2862\">memory lapses<\/a> often leave people worrying about dementia, diseases such as <a href=\"https:\/\/healthlibrary.osfhealthcare.org\/Search\/134,62\">Alzheimer\u2019s<\/a> or other incurable, progressive conditions. But that\u2019s not always the case.<\/p>\n<div class=\"alignright cta\">\n<p>Worried about your brain?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.osfhealthcare.org\/blog\/four-things-you-can-do-to-lower-your-dementia-risk\/\">Learn how to keep it sharp<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&#8220;Forgetting why you walked into a room on occasion, difficulty recalling the name of someone you just met or having a word on the tip of your tongue that later comes to you is typically not concerning,\u201d said Lyndsay Mentgen, APRN, with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.osfhealthcare.org\/services\/neurosciences\/\">OSF HealthCare Illinois Neurological Institute<\/a>.\u00a0\u201cHowever, if memory loss starts to affect daily functioning \u2013 for example, missing appointments or forgetting to take medications \u2013 further evaluation is recommended.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Common causes<\/h2>\n<p>Many common conditions and even some substances can cause forgetfulness. Lyndsay shared some:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Depression, anxiety and stress \u2013 \u201cThese are common causes of forgetfulness,\u201d Lyndsay said. \u201cStress and mood disturbances can act as a distraction and make it difficult to focus, which can lead to memory problems.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Medications \u2013 These can include but aren\u2019t limited to over-the-counter sleep aids, allergy medications, overactive bladder medications and pain medications (specifically narcotics).<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.osfhealthcare.org\/blog\/four-steps-to-help-you-sleep-better\/\">Sleep issues<\/a> \u2013 \u201cInsomnia or untreated sleep apnea can affect thinking and memory skills,\u201d she said. \u201cHealthy sleep practices, treating underlying causes of sleep problems or being evaluated for sleep apnea might help these symptoms.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Vitamin deficiencies or thyroid abnormalities<\/li>\n<li>Excessive <a href=\"https:\/\/www.osfhealthcare.org\/blog\/dont-let-alcohol-become-your-crutch\/\">alcohol<\/a> consumption<\/li>\n<li>Chronic pain<\/li>\n<li>Vision or hearing loss<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cThese problems can give a false impression of memory loss,\u201d Lyndsay said.<\/p>\n<h2>When it\u2019s more than just forgetfulness<\/h2>\n<p>When someone experiences forgetfulness, their initial fear may be dementia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA common misconception is that dementia is just a normal part of aging,\u201d Lyndsay said. \u201cBut dementia is a loss in function that happens earlier or faster than what we see in normal aging.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The most common cause of dementia over the age of 65? Alzheimer\u2019s disease. Typical symptoms of Alzheimer\u2019s disease include forgetting recent events or conversations, repetition or getting lost in familiar places. People who have Alzheimer\u2019s disease usually don\u2019t recognize that they are having these problems.<\/p>\n<p>Another common cause of dementia is cerebrovascular disease, or damage to the blood vessels in the brain. This damage can be due to strokes and many of the same things that cause heart disease \u2013 for instance, poorly controlled high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes and smoking.<\/p>\n<p>While there is no way to reverse the damage that has been done, working to manage these conditions and healthy lifestyle changes can help to minimize the risk.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo matter the cause of dementia, when there is memory loss, safety is a primary concern,\u201d Lyndsay said. \u201cMonitoring how a person is managing their medications and finances and observing driving skills can help identify problems that could become early safety issues.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>What to expect<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-12561 \" src=\"https:\/\/osf-blog.live.imagescape.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/forgetfulness_20210315_C-300x158.jpg\" alt=\"Elderly woman hands putting missing white jigsaw puzzle piece down into the place as a human brain shape.

When you meet with your provider, having examples of your memory loss can be very helpful. You will also be asked about sleep habits, mood changes and physical changes such as dizziness, tremor or falls.<\/p>\n<p>And don\u2019t delay. Sudden memory loss or confusion could also indicate a more serious problem such as a stroke or serious infection.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cScreening tests for memory and other cognitive skills are an important part of an evaluation, but these tests alone do not give a diagnosis,\u201d Lyndsay said. \u201cFindings of your physical exam, blood work and brain imaging are also considered. Further testing may be recommended.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Whether it\u2019s concern for yourself or for a loved one, having another person at the appointment can help you share needed facts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt can be extremely helpful to have a friend or family member with you to provide an outside perspective of changes they may have seen,\u201d Lyndsay said.<\/p>\n<h2>Preventing memory loss and forgetfulness<\/h2>\n<p>Living a healthy lifestyle is important for brain health. Some ways that you may be able to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.osfhealthcare.org\/blog\/four-things-you-can-do-to-lower-your-dementia-risk\/\">slow memory loss<\/a> and cut down on forgetfulness are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Healthy eating \u2013 Lyndsay said the MIND diet is beneficial for brain health. The MIND diet incorporates the <a href=\"https:\/\/healthlibrary.osfhealthcare.org\/Search\/1,2378\">DASH<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/healthlibrary.osfhealthcare.org\/Search\/85,P01570\">Mediterranean<\/a> food plans, which encourage eating brain-protecting foods such as fish, chicken, nuts and green leafy vegetables while avoiding processed foods and foods high in sugar and saturated fat.<\/li>\n<li>Exercise \u2013 Even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.osfhealthcare.org\/blog\/exercising-at-home-is-easier-than-you-think\/\">low-impact exercise<\/a> like walking 30 minutes a day five times a week can help.<\/li>\n<li>Staying active cognitively \u2013 Try mentally stimulating activities like reading, playing games, solving puzzles or learning a new hobby. The more challenging, the better.<\/li>\n<li>Socializing (safely, of course) \u2013 Social isolation can cause unhealthy stress and lead to depression. Forming and maintaining strong connections helps reduce stress and improve mood.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cI would encourage anyone concerned about forgetfulness or any other change in their ability to function normally to see their primary care provider,\u201d Lyndsay said. \u201cTaking the steps to identify and manage reversible or treatable causes may improve memory and provide better health in general.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You can take simple steps to improve memory, but when forgetfulness begins to affect daily function, it&#8217;s time for a medical evaluation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":114,"featured_media":12560,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"no","_lmt_disable":"no","footnotes":""},"categories":[99,734],"tags":[867,830,26,364],"coauthors":[1015],"class_list":["post-12520","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-neurosciences","category-mental-health","tag-brain","tag-depression","tag-diet","tag-sleep"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>When should you worry about frequent forgetfulness?
