What's going on with memory loss

There are many reasons for memory loss, especially for many older people. Memory loss is a very common phenomenon. The main reason is that as people age, their brain functions will gradually decline. However, many young people are also prone to memory loss. So what causes memory loss? Let’s take a brief look at it!

From a TCM perspective, amnesia is caused by the inability to release Qi evenly. As the saying goes, I'm out of breath. Due to insufficient air to the brain, the amount of blood to the brain decreases, leading to memory loss. Women who have had pregnancy experience have more. According to statistics, 60% of amnesia patients are women, and more than 80% of housewives have experienced amnesia.

2. Make a diagnosis based on the condition, such as:

a. Those who have been ill for a long time and have other weak symptoms, mostly suffer from mental fatigue, insomnia, and dizziness.

b. Those who are not physically weak but are forgetful, or even amnesiac, and whose condition is closely related to mental and emotional factors, are mostly suffering from diseases such as qi syncope and spirit depression.

c. Elderly people with obvious forgetfulness often suffer from diseases such as cerebral paralysis, cerebral atrophy, and mania.

d. For amnesia caused by trauma, poisoning, alcoholism, etc., there must be a corresponding medical history.

3. If necessary, examinations such as cerebral blood flow mapping, electroencephalogram, head X-ray and CT scan may be considered.
