Q: My Father Is Having Memory Problems

asked by: dutchman on June 25th, 2005

My father, who is 65, is having some problems with his memory fo that last few months. He tends to forget things often now. Most often he forgets names of people in particular. Is this natural at his age?
Can his problem be rectified? Please help!

I don't think it's normal for a 65-year old man to start forgetting things.

Can you tell me something more about your father's medical history like: other diseases he is suffering from, relatives with similar disorder, any brain injuries or diseases, etc.
