My mother had Alzheimers and passed away at 95 after having it for at least 5 yr.
I am now 73 and very worried that this will happen to me. Though very slight, sometimes I do forget. I eat well, no processed food, exercise, do puzzles. All the right things. Is this enough or can I go and get my brain looked at?

Hi Anon,
I'm sorry to hear about your mother's passing.
Occasional forgetfulness is common and is not generally associated with dementia or Alzheimer's. However, given your family history, I can see why you would be concerned. Please take a few minutes to read through our Alzheimer's advocacy sheet https://www.empowher.com/alzheimer039s-disease/content/alzheimers-disease-advocacy-sheet-0
There are some tests you could ask your doctor for and you'll find that information in the link above.
Best of luck!
Rosa
