What can cause confusion and disorientation?

Asked 2 years ago

I am 55-years-old, and I feel like my brain has gone from clear thinking and sharp to more confused and absent-minded. Is this a natural sign of age? What else could be causing this? I get enough sleep, I eat right, and I have always been exercising and staying fit through walking. I am baffled.

The symptoms you're describing sound like brain fog which is characterized by a lack of mental clarity and focus. This may be caused by stress, diet, certain medications, or medical conditions. Hormonal changes brought about by age may also be the culprit. Since you say you exercise, eat healthily and get enough sleep, something else may be at play and it's advisable to see your doctor about it.
