Good evening i am 31 (f) 5'6 250 pounds i juat have a general question i know this isn't medical advice but Can dementia start within a week if you are in your 30's? i ask because It started off as my left side of my pelvic starting hurting then it spreader to my inner thigh it started last Saturday then my left eye started feeling full feeling like pressure the left side of my head thinking I have tumor then the fogginess constant urination.

i have a iud I started to taken antibiotic just occasionally I thought it was my sinuses or a untreated infection then my monitor bumped me on the head I was feeling kind of sad in general from work and life then other stuff

now I feel like I'm slowly just don't know what's going maybe it has been suttle im constantly worried scared and just Want to cry im constantly checking my memory make sure I remember details what im doing hoping I don't repeat the same thing or ask the same question over and over Im overly focusing on what is being said and scared im missing something or not catching on I've been Googling to see if it's possible now im just worried. It went from worry about a pelvic pain to worrying about a brain tumor to now this i can't sleep and I am constantly checking and having to stay hyper focus and aware of conversation to ensure I capture everything now it feels like a mental block in my brain.

i did test positive for a uti im on medication now.

but i still feel off its like im fighting with my mind to see if i remember feels like im making up memories or forget.

Hi, I’m a 31(F) 5'6 200 pounds and I’ve been struggling with severe anxiety about my health recently, and I’m scared something serious is happening neurologically.

About a week ago I started having pelvic pain on my left side that spread into my inner thigh. Since then I’ve also had:

Frequent urination

Spotting blood (I have an IUD)

Pressure/full feeling in my left eye

Pressure/headache feeling on the left side of my head

Brain fog and trouble concentrating

I started occasionally taking antibiotics because I thought maybe I had a sinus infection or another untreated infection. Around the same time, a monitor accidentally bumped my head, which increased my anxiety.

Since all of this started, my thoughts have spiraled from worrying about pelvic pain, to worrying about a brain tumor, and now dementia. I’ve been hyperfocused on my memory and conversations. I constantly check whether I remember details, whether I’m repeating myself, or whether I’m missing parts of conversations. It feels like I have a mental block and I’m scared I’m “losing myself.”

I’m crying often, barely sleeping, constantly Googling symptoms, and staying hyperaware of everything I say or hear. I know anxiety can cause brain fog, but I’m terrified this could be early dementia or something serious neurological.

Can dementia realistically appear this suddenly in someone in their 30s, or can severe anxiety/stress cause symptoms this intense?
