«Niebla mental»: se me olvidan las palabras, pierdo el hilo — ¿qué me pasa?
Entras en una habitación y no recuerdas a qué. El nombre de alguien conocido lo tienes «en la punta de la lengua». Una idea se te escapa a mitad de frase. Muchas mujeres en la transición se asustan: «¿Será que la memoria empieza a fallar?». Veámoslo con calma.
Es real, y se pasa
El estrógeno nutre el cerebro: las zonas responsables de la memoria y el lenguaje, y la forma en que el cerebro obtiene energía. Por eso la «niebla» en la transición no es imaginación. Lo que más suele afectar es encontrar las palabras, la rapidez y recordar lo que oyes.
Pero esto es lo importante:
- según los grandes estudios, esta niebla es leve y suele pasar después de la menopausia;
- no es el inicio de una enfermedad de la memoria: a esta edad esas enfermedades son muy raras;
- la sensación de niebla suele ser más fuerte que lo que muestran las pruebas.
Lo que más agrava la niebla
La ansiedad y el ánimo. El simple pensamiento «¿me estaré volviendo loca?» empeora la concentración, y el círculo se cierra. A menudo la niebla viene de la ansiedad, no de una «memoria débil».
La falta de sueño. Las noches rotas golpean la atención más de lo que parece.
La sobrecarga. Diez cosas a la vez, y el cerebro pierde el hilo. Una tarea cada vez: un truco sencillo que funciona.
Qué conviene revisar
No todo hay que achacarlo a la menopausia. Con estas señales, al médico para revisarlo:
- Tiroides — frío, estreñimiento, pulso lento → TSH.
- Vitamina B12 — entumecimiento u hormigueo en manos y pies; el riesgo es mayor con metformina, con medicamentos para el ardor de estómago y en veganas.
- Reservas de hierro — si tus reglas son abundantes → ferritina.
- Respiración durante el sueño — el sueño no descansa, roncas.
- Medicamentos. Algunos antihistamínicos «para dormir», los somníferos y los fármacos para las ganas frecuentes de orinar embotan la memoria y la atención. No los dejes por tu cuenta: habla con tu médico de una alternativa.
- Audición. La pérdida de audición es un factor importante para el cerebro, y se puede corregir.
Qué ayuda al cerebro
El movimiento. La palanca más fuerte: tanto caminar como el entrenamiento de fuerza mejoran la atención y la capacidad de tener varias tareas en la cabeza.
El sueño. Empieza por él: la niebla viene más a menudo de la falta de sueño.
La comida. Estilo mediterráneo, pescado azul (pescado de verdad, no cápsulas), huevos, frutos rojos.
Corazón y vasos. Tensión, azúcar, cintura: lo que es bueno para el corazón es bueno para el cerebro. Menos alcohol.
Gente y cosas nuevas. La actividad social y mental cuida el cerebro.
¿Y los suplementos «para la memoria»?
Los suplementos «para la memoria» ya preparados no han mostrado beneficio: ni el ginkgo ni los «nootrópicos» de moda. La creatina da en los estudios una pequeña mejora de la memoria, más notable con falta de sueño y en mayores de 65; en mujeres en la peri- y posmenopausia hay un primer estudio pequeño en el que el tiempo de reacción fue más rápido, pero el resultado aún no se ha repetido. Con enfermedad renal, solo después de hablarlo con un médico.
Cuándo ir al médico sin esperar
Ya no es una niebla normal si:
- te cuesta manejar lo de siempre: el dinero, los medicamentos, orientarte en lugares conocidos;
- las personas cercanas notan el empeoramiento más que tú;
- va a peor mes tras mes, sin «días buenos»;
- repites la misma pregunta sin darte cuenta o confundes el significado de las palabras.
Qué probar esta semana
- Levantarte a la misma hora los siete días: primero el sueño.
- Dos sesiones de fuerza de 30–40 minutos en días distintos.
- Una tarea cada vez: las cosas importantes, de una en una, sin saltar de una a otra.
