Brief Answer:
Need to evaluate the cause of memory loss
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted your symptoms and agree with you that these are abnormal.
We need to find out the cause of memory loss in you. Common causes include vitamin B12 deficiency, lack of blood supply to brain (brain stroke, etc).
These can be excluded by doing MRI scan of brain and blood test for vitamin B12 level.
There are good medications to treat them, and hence, there is no need to worry.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
