“I might not even remember what shoe I’m supposed to pull or the person I’m supposed to pull it for ... or you’re ringing somebody up and you’re missing items,“ she said.
She says brain fog slows her down, makes her forgetful and at times, even worried about her health.
Adams said, “Am I beginning to lose my memory, are there other things and conditions out there that make you worry that maybe this isn’t right?“
Brain fog is a really common complaint. People say they don’t feel quite right or can’t think clearly ... it’s not really a medical problem itself, but it can have medical causes.
Dr. John Moon says brain fog can be a symptom of low thyroid, high blood pressure, sleep apnea or depression.
“The complaints are usually pretty vague, when patients come in, they have a hard time explaining exactly what they’re feeling—but it’s usually being unfocused, having a hard time concentrating at work ... being tired,“ Dr. Moon said.
But for many people—lifestyle is to blame. Stress, bad diets, and limited exercise.
Dr. Moon said, “If they’re concerned, it’s something that’s interfering with their day, it’s something they would want to go check with a doctor to make sure there’s not something correctable outside of changing diet and maybe better sleep.“
