Why Do I Am Having An Extremely Difficult Time Remembering Peoples Names?

I am having an extremely difficult time remembering peoples name and over the past 3-4 months I find myself standing there with my vitamins and pills in my mouth and not being able to remember how to swallow...I know that sounds ridiculous but when my pill actually dissolved in my mouth while I was trying to figure out how to swallow it freaked me out a little.

Hello,

It is a little difficult to answer, without any other symptoms and your age. But diagnoses to be aware of could be: Dementia, stress, depression. All of these can make you forgetful or distracted.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Kasper Kristensen, General & Family Physician
