Seek medical help: Without knowing specifics, its hard to say. But speaking with your family doctor may help to direct the course of diagnostic studies if any. There are different patterns of loss of memory that may give your doctor some clues. Your past history is also important. For example, a history of alcohol use, drug use, or traumatic brain injury certainly are factors that can contribute to memory loss.
