Getinvestigated and evaluated by a neurologist

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Is there any headache, vomiting, fever, seizures, weakness in limbs?
Memory problems at this age can be due to stress, depression or vitamin B12 deficiency.
You should get blood investigated for vitamin B12 and thyroid levels.
Vitamin B12 and folic acid supplementation are available for administration in deficient state.
Brain imaging may be required if any neurodeficit present.
If it is stress a stress management workshop and consult with Psychologist/counselor should work.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Do get back to me for further queries.
