GGenerally, some memory failures are completely normal and harmless, especially with age, explains Carmen Carrión, an assistant professor of neurology at the Yale School of Medicine, in the United States, to HuffPost, a blog aggregator.
Over the years, people get older and forget very simple everyday things, such as keys or have difficulty remembering certain names. “These age-related memory changes are not typically a cause for concern,” she added.
Unfortunately, there are certain forms of memory loss that are abnormal and may be indicative of larger problems, he explains. That’s why, on Huffpost, some neurologists explained the signs of memory loss that should worry you.
Signs that your memory loss is not normal:
- Inability to learn new things;
- Difficulty doing and understanding things that used to be easy;
- Quickly forget conversations;
- Getting lost in familiar places;
- Repeat stories frequently;
- Your loved ones say something seems off.
