Hello,
What you are facing is a perceived memory disturbance and not the actual memory loss. The fact that you could recall the information after some time suggests that its not the actual memory disturbance. The problem occurs when you are not attentive or are fatigued. Same may also occur if you are having anxiety or depression or worry cause of some concerns. Firstly please don't freak out yourself considering that you are suffering from very serious illness. These issues are treatable, but you need to see a approachable psychiatrist who can assess you before he can start any treatment.
Hope I am able to solve your concerns,
have a nice day.

Hello....
Thanks for your query. What you are describing is a common set of complaints presented by a stressed white-collar professional. I guess you are in your early career and this is usually not the age of onset for dementias/ illnesses of forgetfulness. Effective stress management strategies can help which you can learn from a psychological counsellor (hope your company has one). Breathing relaxation exercises can also help. If these do not hep, you can consider an evaluation by a professional psychiatrist. Hope you found the information useful.
