Hello thanks for asking from HCM for your health related queries

I can understand your concern. Repeated head trauma can result in memory problems. You have mentioned that you had 5 concussions and have headache daily along with problems in memory. The memory problems has been confirmed by tests in school also. Though it is not common to have memory problems in school going children still as your problems have been confirmed so you should talk to your parents and consult a psychiatrist. Get your imaging investigations like CT scan done to rule out any evidence of trauma to brain. Medicines like Donepezil, Memantin can help to reduce the progression of traumatic memory loss. Visit a doctor for help.

Thanks, I hope this helps you.

Take care
