Dr. Deepa Sharma, Family Medicine Physician with Baptist Health Primary Care, explains vascular dementia is the result of reduced blood flow to the brain, and it can be from diseases in blood vessels.

She says lifestyle is an important part of risk factors. She points out with screening doctors can look for conditions that are treatable and reversible, like blood sugar, cholesterol, and blood pressure.

This is so interesting. For a while now, i've been experiencing short term memory problems. I do know that I have had a couple of mini strokes, & was told at the time, that the two front arteries, may have been the cause of my TIA's. On the left side of my neck, that artery is blocked. On my right hand side, the artery is only 50 to 60% blockage.
Hmm. Even after everyone noticing my short term memory, not one Dr, or specialist has ever tried to tell me about Vascular dementia..!! Yet again, i'm to find out for myself..!! Would u believe, it wasn't my Dr who found out, that I was suffering with ADHD. After I had done all the research, he did get me to get a second opinion from a professional, who actually diagnosed me with ADHD..!! How can a couple (not all) of Drs, professionals etc... Take an Oath, in whatever career they choose, and not stand by that Oath..!?

Thank u for the very informative information. 🙏
