Brief Answer: It may be stroke Detailed Answer: From the symptoms that you have described the most important telling us that something might actually be wrong is the sudden memory loss. In stroke affecting few regions of the brain whose function is memory related these symptoms may occur. Please go to the nearest health center or emergency or casualty available for detailed examination and for MRI Brain if possible. This needs urgent care if it turns out to be brain stroke.
