HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

There are different possible causes for memory loss and decreased attentiveness.
You may first want to note if there are any additional symptoms along with the memory impairment. Symptoms such as difficulty sleeping, change in appetite, change in mood, fatigue, anxiety or stress.

Impaired attention and memory may be related to : sleep deprivation, inadequate diet, depression, anxiety, head injury, infections, dementia, some hormonal conditions, stroke.

If the problem continues then you may want to visit your doctor for an assessment.

I hope this helps
