There could be any number of things causing it, you need to see a doctor to rule out physical causes.

Are there other symptoms of memory loss that you experience or is it just the forgetting what you were about to say? If not, I don't see a cause for alarm.

or no?

Could be depression, stress, lack of sleep, anxiety, inproper diet, lack of exercise, loss of a family member, friend, or pet, hormonal changes inducing above symptoms, or any combination of them.

See a doctor.

If for some reason you can't or will not go to a doctor.

1. Eat a healthy diet.
2. Exercise.
3. Take a multivitamin.

SEE A DOCTOR THOUGH!

I usually have memory loss when I'm distracted. Like Yesterday.. When my mom asked me to get something downstairs.. By the time i got down.. I forgot what i was supposed to get.. Because I was thinking completely about other things(Homework.. School... and like all guys..Girls..lol) ... If you don't tell your brain to memorize it.. it won't do it :P


But... You could also see a doctor..and everything FrogPad is suggesting you.

The last thing you should do is repeatedly tell yourself that your memory is bad. This negatively reinforces memory loss and deters you from trying to improve it.
