Dementia Warning: The Dizzy Sign of Alzheimer's Disease -- Are You at Risk?

Alzheimer's Disease International claims that persons who often feel dizzy and disoriented could be at risk of developing dementia, reports the Daily Express . The organization also suggests that difficulty recalling how you got somewhere could be an early warning sign, as could problems differentiating between nighttime and daytime. However, every individual is different, and certain symptoms announce themselves differently. Alzheimer's Disease International recommends that people should consider consulting a physician if disorientation is affecting their everyday life. "An individual's personality, general health, and social situation are all-important factors in determining the impact of dementia on him or her," it said. "The most common signs are memory loss and the loss of practical abilities, which can lead to withdrawal from work or social activities." Another possible early warning sign can be language difficulty, while other potential dementia risk indicators include problems keeping track of things, personality changes, and poor judgment.
