Hello
Have you gotten scans done? If not, I suggest you visit a neurologist and get a scan done. If the scans are clear, it could be because of constant thoughts that may be overpowering your alertness along with other factors.
If you use any substance such as alcohol/drugs, they could also be leading to the forgetfulness. You can visit a psychotherapist/Cognitive Hypnotherapist/ NLP practitioner to help overcome the issues causing forgetfulness.
Next Steps
1. visit a neurologist for scans
2. if scans are clear, visit a psychotherapist/ cognitive hypnotherapist/ NLP practitioner
Health Tips
Do not use substances like Alcohol/drugs
