[quote=Anonymous]I’m not sure if this is referred to as vascular dementia or something else but my dad had some cognitive issues when his carotid arteries were clogged. He had the procedure to clear out the gunk and it helped significantly. That was thru his cardiologist. My dad also had some cognitive issues around that age that turned out to be caused by medication he was oin—the medication had insomnia as a potential side effect. It turned out he was only sleeping an hour or two a night and so of course he was confused during the day. We took him off the medicine and he was fine. 77 is very young to be having issues that significant and his GP sounds terrible. He should see a cardiologist and a neurologist and maybe a geriatric specialist GP. [/quote]
