Hello,

Anxiety is caused commonly by stress (financial stress, work stress, relationship stress, stress due to physical / emotional trauma, etc). To reduce anxiety cut on alcohol, anxiety, caffeine, etc. Exercise regularly, take deep breaths & stay well hydrated. Take well balanced diet. Consult a Counselor/ Psychiatrist. You may need CBT, combination counselling, therapy & medicines (anxiolytic drugs).

Mild memory loss occurs due to alcoholism, deficiency of vitamin B1, B12, difficulty in concentration due to stress, depression & anxiety. Stay away from anxiety, addictions if any. You are suggested to get clinically examined by a GP, get blood tests & MRI done to detect the degree of memory loss, get treated at the earliest. In the mean time, take adequate sleep. Take healthy diet, whole grains, veggies, fruits, fish , beans, etc. Do physical activities to keep your brain active, socialize regularly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K, General & Family Physician
