Hello Doctor Rynne, For the past 2 months, I have been experiencing memory impairment on a daily basis. This disturbs/concerns me because I am a college professor. I will be lecturing in class and then forget the point I want to make. I am in a meeting and wanting to make a point and then forget... This is happening too frequently. I am a 56 year old Korean American female in good health. My last period was February 26th, 2014. I understand that peri-menopause could cause this but I still am very worried.
Well in order to discuss the treatment first it must be determined what the cause is. Actually even that follows a careful evaluation to determine whether there is a real memory impairment or perhaps that impression is given by lack of attention often in the setting of issues like anxiety or depression sometimes associated with menopause. If a true memory impairment is found, other higher brain functions language, judgement, complex motor skills are tested as well. Afterwards as I said the cause must be searched for. There can be many causes like hormonal and metabolic alterations, nutritional deficiencies, toxins, vascular or degenerative impairment of the brain etc., some of them reversible some not.  So such a vast array of possible causes often means having to take much blood or imaging test in order to make a diagnosis. As might have understood from this long explanation it is impossible to make an accurate diagnosis and hence to responsibly answer your question about treatment, I think you should contact a doctor, possibly a neurologist.
