Q. What could be the reason for memory problems pertaining to recalling things?

Hello doctor,

I am having a memory-related problem. I have been facing a lot of problems in recalling things. I never used to face such problems earlier. I even find difficulty while conversation because of difficulty in recalling the words.

Kindly help.

Thank you.

Hello doctor,

I have been facing this issue for a year. But I did not pay much attention to this as I thought it was normal until it started getting worse. No, I do not have frequent headaches but a week ago I had a headache for two days continuously. Nowadays I am getting sad a lot over small things. And suddenly my mood changed from sad to happy after a phone call. I never smoke. I never take stress or have anxiety problems. But I am extremely forgetful. I randomly forget the names of songs, movies, actors, and sometimes my distinct friends' names. If I cooked something new and I have to cook tomorrow I do not remember the recipe at all even after cooking it three to four times. I am a CA aspirant and study a lot but I am not able to recall as I used to earlier. So I am working as a CA assistant and it is affecting my work too much. My boss teaches me something and next time I do not remember how to do it. I have done the work a lot of times but am still not able to remember. Sometimes I do not remember the name of the company where my brother works. It is affecting me. What should I do?

Kindly help.

Thank you.
