WhatWasThatQuestion?: It's a good general principle that if something is going on that bothers you a lot that you should seek help in resolving that issue, especially if it is starting to affect important aspects of your life like, for example, your work. So, yes, speak to someone. There are tests for memory and cognition. It will be relatively easy to figure-out what's going wrong. Try a psychologist or neurologist.
