Hello, Im 23 years old and I feel like my short term memory loss is failing me. When I plan things i seem to forget about the day / time it was planned and seem to be forgetting a lot of things that get people frustrated and end up frustrating me too. Ive looked up some info online and noticed most responses were sleep related but I can assure you I do not lack sleep, for that matter I sleep well over 10 hours a night without waking up.
Hello thanks for asking from Chat Doctor for your health related queries can understand your concern. It is usually not common to see memory loss or cognitive decline at your age, so there is no need to worry about that. Most of the individuals of your age with memory problems have anxiety or mild depression. Sometimes low Vitamin B12 levels also results in such symptoms of forgetfulness. I would advise you to get your B12 levels checked to find out the exact cause of your symptoms. If B12 levels come low then start taking Multivitamin supplements and this would help in improvement of your symptoms. If everything come normal then visit a psychiatrist for evaluation of your symptoms. Forgetfulness in day to day task could occur due to anxiety or mild depression. Your sleep is normal, but such symptoms could be stress related. Low doses of antianxiety Chat Doctor. Thanks, hope this helps you. Take care
