My memory problem

by Jan
(Hong Kong)

In this recent year, i think about 6 years, I feel my memory is getting more and more worse and worse. I am hard to remember every things. For example, in my studies, i easily forget the former sentence just I read when I read one article. This make me hardly construct and understand what the article means.

I also feel that I can hardly concentrate on my work or studies. My sleep is poor. I hardly fall asleep at night but I always feel sleepy at daytime. When i talk to other people, i always feel that I am reluctant to listen him/her as I hardly remember/ understand/ concentrate what him/her said and i also feel nervous.

I always feel headache when I want to remember things. My problem makes me feel depressed and nervous.

Doug's Reply. Have you talked to a doctor about this?

When memory and attention problems begin to severely affect your ability to function normally in daily life, it is time to consult with a medical professional. It is important to investigate whether there is a medical reason for your condition so you can get appropriate treatment.

It's possible that stress and depression are contributing factors. Both hurt memory and concentration. Lack of restful sleep hurts memory too.

Sometimes we get caught in a downward spiral. The best thing to do is think hard about why this is happening and then make necessary lifestyle changes to reverse the cycle. But first, as I mentioned, you should consider visiting your physician to rule out a medical cause.
