A member asked:

I have noticed that for the past month or two, i am forgetting names of people or items a lot. although i can imagine them in my head, i cant remember the name. is this a sign of old age or something more serious?

Depends: A more detailed history and exam are necessary to help you with this problem. Are you having trouble with any other mental tasks such as conversations and math? Are you eating & sleeping well? Are you on any meds? Do you smoke, drink alcohol &/or use illicit meds? Are you feeling depressed &/or anxious? I suggest you go to a medical clinic for a full exam.
