Hi,
Alzheimer's is usually a disease of the old age. After 60 years, it usually starts. If we need to think at your age, you should have some syndromes, like Downs syndrome or chromosomal genetic disorders. You probably don't have any other diseases, other than forgetfulness, so early Alzheimer's can be safely ruled out.
Forgetfulness at your age could be due to emotional problems, stress, anxiety or unable to concentrate or assuming those things as irrelevant.
You can try stress management, yoga, physical & mental exercises or meditation to improve concentration. Keeping your mind active is the most important thing. Even the onset of Alzheimer's can be delayed if you be more mentally and physically active.
If you have any further queries, happy to answer.
