Concentration issues
Concentration issues
Hello, I've been in menopause for approx 10+ years since I had a partial hysterectomy when I was in my mid-40s. Just recently I've been experiencing problems with concentrating and following along with other people speaking. I find myself thinking of things I need to do (grocery shopping, errands, chores, etc.) and then realize I haven't been paying attention to them. I'll ask my neurologist if I can be tested for Alzheimers and Dementia, but is anyone else experiencing this? A co-worker blamed the same type of problem on her just entering menopause. I don't think it's brain fog from Covid because I had Covid ~10 months ago and didn't have this problem then. Could it possibly be menopause? If so, why now and not years ago? Any thoughts or suggestions?

I’ve been having this problem a lot lately! I’m not quite to the magical 1 year mark, but have been experiencing more hot flashes again and having trouble stringing words together and focusing on anything at all. Like other people taking in meetings - my own talking in meetings - it’s not good at all.
I’ve really been struggling myself lately. I think it’s menopause, and stress and anxiety - but I’m not convinced it’s not neurological for me yet either. If you already have an established neurologist, I’d ask for the tests. But I hope for all of us that it’s just meno and temporary.Hey, med student here! Probably it is temporary, but try out Ginco, or vitamin B5, B6 supplements. They helps nerves to function and Ginco improves blood supply to the brain.
Except this, vitamin D supplements are necessary to protect your bones from fracture, and to improve your mood.
