At age 30, is it normal to have bad short term memory loss? what could this mean?

I can't remember: In all seriousness, that would be quite young to experience major memory issues. There are multiple things that would need to be addressed. Talk to your doc to see if additional evaluation is warranted.

Not normal: You should see your pcp about this complaint. There are many causes of short term memory problems in young patients. The most common is depression, anxiety disorder, or substance abuse but there are many other (organic) causes also, including vision change, sleep apnea, high blood pressure, etc. As you can see, this is a very broad topic and needs full discuss with a md.
