Hi..Can understand your concern..As per your query about cause of temporary confusion and memory loss that it can be onset of dementia which can be a age related change.I suggest you to get your health check up for any vitamin deficiency,blood pressure,blood sugar levels and lipids profile etc as these factors can also lead to temporary memory loss and confusion.Do relaxation exercises like yoga and meditation.Take vitamins supplements.Take adequate and a sound sleep at least 8-9 hrs daily.You need to consult a neurophysian or a neuro psychiatrist for proper evaluation and medication.I hope the information helps you.Take care
