Memory symptoms

Memory symptoms: Introduction

Further information about Memory symptoms is below, or review more specific information about these types of Memory symptoms: Forgetfulness, Memory loss, Loss of memory, Memory disturbances, Poor memory, Short-term memory loss, Temporary memory loss, Amnesia or other types.

Loss of memory is a common symptom, particular in the elderly. Memory loss may also be associated with concentration symptoms. Many people fear a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease but many other possibilities exist, including simply the normal deterioration of memory function with aging. Other possibilities include the side effects of various medications and other medical conditions such as depression, anxiety, alcohol abuse, drug abuse, certain brain conditions (e.g. stroke or brain tumors) and various types of dementia. Any memory-related symptoms need prompt professional medical advice to determine the correct diagnosis.

Diagnostic tests for Memory symptoms:

Various tests are used in the diagnosis of Memory symptoms. Some of these are listed below :

  • Physical examination
    • If suspect multi-infarct dementia, examine for signs of vascular pathology e.g. high blood pressure, signs of previous strokes
    • Examine for signs that symptoms may be due to delirium rather than dementia - e.g. temperature, neck stiffness (may suggest meningitis or subarachnoid hemorrhage), neurological examination to look for focal neurological signs and papilledema.
  • Mini-mental state examination - if dementia is suspected test memory and cognitive function.
  • Blood tests
    • Full blood count and ESR

Diagnosis Checklist: Questions your doctor may ask (and why!)

During a consultation, your doctor will use various techniques in their assessment of Memory symptoms. Your doctor may ask several questions when assessing your condition. It is important to remember that your consultation is a two-way process and any extra information you can share with your doctor about your symptoms may help them with their diagnosis. Some of the questions your doctor may ask are listed below:

  • How long have you had problems with your memory? - to determine if acute or chronic. If onset is rapid and symptoms have been present for hours to weeks must consider delirium as possible cause of memory problems. Delirium is an acute confusional state due to many causes e.g. infection, drug intoxication, alcohol withdrawal, liver failure, kidney failure, hypoxia, low blood sugar, stroke, heart attack or head injury. If the onset is slow and insidious and memory problems have been present for months to years a diagnosis of dementia, psychiatric illness or intellectual disability may be more likely.
  • Is there a simple, everyday cause of memory problems? - e.g. tiredness, pregnancy, being a new mother, general anxiety, grieving.
  • What is the age of the person with the memory problems? - memory and concentration ability does gradually reduce with age. Age- associated memory impairment (AAMI) is the normal forgetfulness of aging.
  • At what time of the day are the memory problems worse? - e.g. if symptoms are worse in the late afternoon and at night delirium ( acute confusional state) is most likely. Dementia -type symptoms and acute psychosis have minimal variation over the course of 24 hours.
  • Has deterioration with memory been step-wise? - suggests multi-infarct dementia.
  • more questions...»

Diagnosis Checklist: Associated symptoms your doctor may ask about (and why!)

Sometimes, other symptoms may be present and may help your doctor analyse your condition. The symptoms your doctor may ask about (in association with Memory symptoms) may include:

  • Headache? - may suggest brain cancer or acute stroke.
  • Psychotic symptoms? - e.g. delusions, hallucinations and disordered thinking - may suggest an alternative diagnosis of schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. However these symptoms may occur in dementia.
  • Fever? - can suggest any infection that may cause delirium or meningitis, encephalitis, brain abscess or brain hemorrhage.
  • Symptoms of dementia? - e.g. impaired memory, impaired judgement and thinking, impaired verbal fluency and impaired ability to perform complex tasks. Personality may change, impulse control may be lost and personal care deteriorates.
  • Symptoms of depression? - Depression may exhibit many of the features of an early dementia, especially memory impairment, slowed thinking and lack of spontaneity.
