<bot>: Hello, Thanks for the query to Chat Doctor. Forum. 83 years old, memory weak. Old age in itself is a disease. SENILE DEGENERATION is a type of disorder in which as age advance patients' memory diminishes. This is natural process. Karachi is an ayurvedic Chat Doctor.  I have tried over many patients. In my opinion there is no any need of tests. Hope I have answered your question. If further any question I will help. Get well soon.
