Question: For the past few months I have been experiencing forgetfulness almost every day. Is this pre-Alzheimer's? If so, should I take Ginko biloba and how much?
Dr. Hibberd's answer:
Forgetfulness is normal from time to time. But a regular pattern of memory loss is not normal.
Do not assume this is Alzheimer's disease. Forgetfulness is sometimes caused by medications, supplement overuse, brain disorders, diabetes, strokes, and even simple stress and sleep deprivation.
So start by seeing your doctor first and skip the Ginko for now. Good Luck.
