[quote=Anonymous]I’d say within the past six months, my mother has had an increasingly noticeable odd speech issue. It’s not a stutter or stammer, but it sort of is? It’s almost like her thoughts are moving faster than her mouth. It’s sort of like: “And then we went to the grocery store for, we went for, we got a… ap… we got apples, and then, ah, and then we came home.” She very recently had a full work up, including visiting her cardiologist. We’ve theorized she could be in very early dementia due to her sedentary lifestyle, but she has high blood pressure and a-fib and I worry this could have been a stroke? But wouldn’t her doctor or cardiologist have seen this? She refuses to have it checked out.[/quote]
