What Causes Short-term Memory Loss For A Duration Of 8 Hours?
last Thursday I had a period of 8 hour of short term memory lost. During that time I acted normal and knew basic answers to questions I should know but was unable to remember what I had done 5 minutes earlier. That short term memory lost last for about 8 hours. I was on vacation and out of my daily routine.

Hello,
How old are you? Since when you're suffering from? Possible causes are like depression or drugs or dementia or alcohol consumption or head injury or seizures or b12 deficiency etc.
Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Please consult your neurophysician he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
