Seer your PCP.: There are quite a few possibilities causing memory impairment among them are that you are overextended and that you have too much going on, depression, some medications can also affect your memory even over the counter ones like benadryl, (diphenhydramine) antidepressants, pain medications. Have a visit your primary care doctor for a thorough physical and see if there are other reasons.
