Gastritis - When an irritated, damaged, or inflamed area in the lining of the stomach is exposed to gastric juices, gastritis can develop. Pain from gastritis varies in individuals but the most common reported symptoms include the following: A burning feeling in the stomach after meals or when lying down.
The exam should include an evaluation for reversible conditions that can mimic Alzheimer's disease, such as depression and delirium, and tests to differentiate between Alzheimer's and other types of dementia such as vascular dementia, Pick's disease, Parkinson's disease dementia and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.
This type of thorough evaluation often can diagnose Alzheimerâs disease in its early stages. Timely, accurate diagnosis is important, because, once the disease has been identified, doctors may be able to offer medications to help manage Alzheimerâs symptoms and possibly slow decline in memory and other cognitive skills.
