My memory loss

I am in my late 60s and I am having some degree of memory loss. Kindly let me know if this Alzheimer’s disease.

Your question answers itself. Normal (and, this is the important word which needs to be included) age-related memory loss is something that is normal—it happens to almost everyone, although there is a fair amount of variation. Alzheimer’s and other dementias are almost all related to some type of brain problem.

And, it is important to remember that a sustained high body temperature can also cause dementia—there are many roads that can lead to dementia.
