(HealthDay News) -- Some memory loss is typical as you age, but there are other warning signs that suggest a person's memory loss goes beyond simply getting older.

The Cleveland Clinic says these warning signs may be cause for concern:

• Inability to remember recent events.
• Inability to remember a task without a written reminder.
• Difficulty performing daily tasks and chores.
• Inability to perform more complex tasks, such as driving or paying bills.
• Being unaware that you have memory loss.
• Showing poor judgment.
• Exhibiting significant behavioral changes, such as excessive worrying, or often feeling agitated or suspicious.
