Hi my mum is 86 and has become increasingly forgetful over the last couple of years. She has had a stressful time as we lost my sister last year and she is on betablockers for the anxiety.
However, since lockdown, she has become very vague and repetitive. I have had 2 worrying phone calls, the first asking where everyone was and why she was on her own (she's a widow and lived alone for over 30 years) and then this morning, asking where her mother was (she died in the 1990's).
I know approaching the GP is the next step but can I do this or does she have to. Plus we have the issue of would they actually do anything in the way of testing at the moment due to COVID? Any help or advice appreciated, I am rather concerned.
