Brief Answer:
Please consult a physician for evaluation

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for asking on this platform

There can be so many causes of poor concentration/memory and it is a very common complaint in this age.
Lack of sleep, more use of electronic gadgets/TV, poor nutrition, anemia, disturbed family all these are common causes of poor concentration. The uncommon causes are some behavioral disorder like attention deficit disorder, learning disorder.
I would like to know if you have any of the common causes and if there is, please try to overcome this.
If you are very much worried please consult a physician for proper evaluation to find out the underlying cause and then management accordingly.

I hope this helps.
Please let me know if there is any more doubt.

Thanks for answering my question doctor. Unfortunately I have not been suffering from the common causes. When I am attending my daily lectures, I will concentrate very well for the first ten minutes, but then I will catch myself fidgeting around and just not very comfortable sitting still for my fifty minute lectures. Would there be anything I'd be able to do without going to a phsyician as my current financial situation may limit me in what I can do.

Sleep adequate, have nutritious meal, avoid overthinking

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Actually in this condition proper counselling is needed over a period for better result.
What you can do on your own is a sound sleep, avoid to much screen watching, have nutritious diet, do some sports activity and avoid over thinking.

I hope this will help to some extent.
Consult your physician whenever it is feasible.
All the best
