Neurologist,  's  Response
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.

You need detailed evaluation to establish the underlying cause and start treatment. A neurologist consultation would be useful.
We need to do the MRI of brain to make sure there is no ischemia (lack of blood flow to brain). In addition, blood tests for vitamin B12 and thyroid should also be done, as deficiency may cause memory issues.

Please get back if you require any additional information.

Best wishes,
