I have epilepsy. i have a great deal of memory problems, forgetting to do simple and important things. should i be worried o concerned or is it normal?

See a doctor: Short-term memory and learning problems are not unusual in people with epilepsy (seizure disorders). If the problems are interfering with your daily functioning, it would be a good idea to make an appointment with a neurologist (medical doctor) or neuropsychologist (clinical psychologist who specializes in close brain-behavior relationships) for an evaluation. Understanding and help might result
