Dear Welcome to HCM We understand your concerns I went through your descriptions. I suggest you not to worry much. I do not think you have such a problem with your memory. Forgetting is normal an is considered a bliss. But beyond a certain limit it is of course bad. You did not mention your age, other related illnesses etc. With the details you gave it is very difficult to diagnose your problem. But do not worry. Minor forgetting like lists of items in shopping, programs by busy people is normal and is actually considered healthy and stress buster. You can talk to a psychologist for details. You can use memory techniques and retention techniques which are used in psychotherapy. Post a direct question to me. Include every details and I shall provide those memory techniques. Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications. Good luck.
