Get evaluated: Speak with a psychologist. They can evaluate your symptoms and help choose a corse of treatment. You can then decide whether to consider a trial on medication.

Have an evaluation: You should seek an evaluation. Start with yoiur primary care doctor to determine if there are any medical problems that resemble ADHD. If none are found a referral to a neuropsychologist for evaluation and if necessary to a neurologist or psychiatrist for treatment with medication.
