Hi......, Everyone forgets things at some time....
Some degree of memory problems, as well as a modest decline in other thinking skills, is a fairly common part of aging. There's a difference,... between normal changes in memory and the type of memory loss associated with neurological disease and related disorders. And some memory problems are the result of treatable conditions.....Consult neurologist they will do the needful.....
