Forget Things, Random Thoughts And Losing Focus
Mar 26, 2016
The reason I'm here is because every time I'm having a conversation with anybody (and even while i'm on my own) my mind keep thinking about a lot of other things, making me lose focus on what's going on in the moment and making me forget important stuff due to the fact that while I was being told these important details, my mind was just jumping to other less relevant issues.This situation has been a big problem in my life recently and I'm wondering if this is a common situation and how to treat/solve it?

I am a 57 yr old male not currently on any medication. I have recently been having very short term memory loss.By recently I mean the last several weeks. For example I needed to move my sons car. I walk into the house to get the keys. By the time I walk into the house I have forgotten why I went in. I have to pause for a few moments to think why I came into the house. That is just one example. This happens to me many times a day. At work I need another tool from my truck or tool bag. I move across the room to my tool bag or walk to my truck and I have to think what I needed. I mean, I have forgotten what I needed within seconds of moving to get the object. This is becoming very annoying. Can diet have anything to do with this. I don't often get to eat breakfast and just something quick for lunch. Though I do have a full dinner. Although this happens whether I have eaten or not. I am planning on calling my doctor this week to see if he can point me in a direction for help but I was just very curious to see what people had to say about this and whether they have had any of these problems also.

I smoke weed once a month or so. I only started recently and yesterday I had some and I got some weird effects. My vision was like everything was sliding around and I was forgetting pretty much everything every 15 seconds or so. Just details though - I could still remember vaguely what was happening. I always have troubles with my memory when I get high but this is the first time it has been that bad and the first time my vision has gone strange. Is this normal or what? I still enjoyed it and it was just like being high normally, but I figured it would be good to see if anyone thinks the side-effects I was getting are a concern.

Not really sure where to begin...wasn't at all sure what was wrong with me until I started reading that my symptoms were connected to the menopause...Unfortunately I am experiencing the lot in some form or other...anxiety is extreme and panic attacks regular...moods are erratic..can't focus or think straight and there appears to be a sense of doom follows me around..I also suffer from severe heavy periods which take a lot out of me for 2 of the 4 wks of the month so am not in a very good place just now! I am generally NOT this type of person and am really struggling with all this but not sure where to begin
I was given HRT which I only lasted 3wks with as I began to take migraines again which I hadn't suffered from for a lot of yrs
I am really keen to try the alternative/natural route but I don't seem to be improving at all with what I am taking
If anyone hasn't lost the will to live reading this I am also being considered for hysterectomy which to me is a very viable option and would like to hear from anyone who has had the surgery and how it was for them.

Before you forget to tell someone something, how is a good way to remember?

I am forgetting everything that happens to me daily. Even whatever happens in morning if somebody asks in afternoon i ll forget that. Why is that i am forgetting all matters? I used to get depressed often by thinking past and used to cry a lot. Whether it may the reason or i am having any prob in my head. I don't have stress in work too.

I experience frequent migraine attacks lately. One time when the migraine attacked, I tried to sleep to somehow ease the pain. However, When I woke up at dawn I was surprised that my left eye could not see. What I just saw with my left eye was complete darkness. It lasted for 2 to 3 minutes. Thus, I decided to undergo MRI of my brain with MRA with contrast and below is the findings:
Negative for restricted diffusion. Small focus of t2 weighted and flair bright signal is noted in the right frontal lobe, gray-white matter differentiation is preserved. No abnormal parenchymal nor meningeal enhancement. No discrete mass noted. There is no evidence of discrete vascular malformation or aneurysm. Midline structures are in place. The ventricles are normal in size and configuration. The sulci and cisterns are not affected. The stellar/juxtasellar, pineal region, cerebellum-pontine angle, craniovertebral junction are unremarkable. The cerebellum and brainstem are intact. Intracranial angiography shows adequate visualization of the anterior , posterior cerebral, anterior communicating, posterior communicating, and middle cerebral arteries. There is tiny suspicious saccular outpouching in the a1 segment of the left anterior cerebral artery. No discrete aneurysm or tangle of vessels in the rest of the vessels. The rural sinuses are patent. The para nasal sinuses included nasopharyngeal and orbits and tympanum astounds are intact.
Impression:
1. Nonspecific focus of solitary white matter bright signal right frontal lobe
2. Consider tiny aneurysm in the a1 segment of the left anterior cerebral artery
3. No acute hemorrhage, infarct or mass lesion.
May I know the meaning of the above mentioned findings?

I am 18. The past 3 months I've been losing everything and I feel like I'm getting worse. Generally I forget things but lately I misplace my belongings more frequently ( wallet, keys, phone). It also happens at work, in less than 2 weeks i forgot to punch out 3 times. Last weekend I misplaced my wallet 3 times, and today I left my keys in my friend's car. I feel like I have no control at lot, i try so many things and nothing works. I read an article saying that it can be caused by stress(I'm a college student, and part time work) but the fact that I have always been the unattentive one between my Friends makes me wonder if I have ADD.
Side note: My brother has ADHD and I would like to know if my mom having major depression when she was pregnant with us( not twins but one pregnancy right after the other) can influence this.

for the past several months my wife tells me that i continually stop breathing through the night, after a while of not believing her i have noticed i sometimes realize i stop breathing during the day and then take a gasp of air. i don't know whether i have done this my whole life and not realised i am now only 35. last week i have had some really irregular and pounding heart beats and for the past several days have felt light headed.i am looking for some answers in layman's terms or if any one else has had the same sort of thing happen as maybe it may all be in my head.

My blood calcium level is 10.6. So far what I've read on the Internet it looks like parathyroid disease but I'm not sure. I just tested again on calcium and the parathyroid but I won't know anything till next week and I'm going out of town tomorrow and I know I won't be able to enjoy myself like I should worrying about this. So I have all the symptoms like painful joints, unable to focus, tired, dizzy, tingling legs and feet and easily set off. But what worries me is that a year ago it was discovered I have an enlarged pituitary gland that I haven't followed up on and I've read something about that. Also I am a smoker so does anyone know if I would feel like this if its cancer. I've had issues with my neck for awhile. It was swollen a couple of years ago to where it felt like a golf ball in the back. Now it feels tight in the front. Could it be throat cancer?

I have always had an issue with forgetting and losing things but it has been getting consistently worse over the past few months and I'm not quite sure who i would speak to. I am only 25 but tend to work very long hours in a stressful job, I'm sure this contributes to my memory loss but i think there might be an underlying reason.
What seems to happen is when I put an item down i forget it is there and when i leave don't even notice i don't have it.
For example I might be on a train, put my coat on the seat next to me, get to my stop and walk off the train without even noticing I don't have it. I leave laptops and iPads on tables and walk off and its becoming an more regular accurance.

I'm a 17 year old girl. Im 5/7 and 120 lbs. I don't normally smoke weed I've maybe done it around 4 to 5 times in my life and 2 of those times I had bad relationships but it's been 6 days since I smoked last and I don't feel normal! I feel numb and disconnected I also forget a lot. But yet at times i have moments of clarity. I talked to the people who partake in smoking with me and they feel fine however they also have a high tolerance for it.

I am teenage and have been experiencing some awkward situations where I begin to feel odd. I get some butterflies in my stomach, my muscles weaken, and my brain "shuts off" and I can feel as if something might be being released from my penis. I am not too sure of what is being released as i'm a little too worried to know if it's semen or not. prior to these happening, I am not aroused of any sort, I can just be sitting down watching TV and these occur, I have masturbated in the past, but I don't have any routine when I comes to masturbation, since this began I have not masturbated, not knowing if I should or not. When this occurs, I don't have an erection, and if I do it doesn't last for too long. I am worried because this is the first time anything like this has ever happened to me, and if it is ejaculation, it is the first time I have ever ejaculated. I don't know what this is because of. Is it just a stage of growth or puberty? Is it anything I need to see a doctor about? I am worried to talk to a doctor or my parents about the situation because it is just a weird topic and I don't feel comfortable talking to them about it.

This is the third time this has happened and I don't understand it.
I wake up in the morning and can't remember what time of day it is, have I woken from a nap? is it morning or night?
This morning I woke up feeling it was evening and it was 6.45 in the morning. I am really worried about this wondering if I could have dementia etc. I am hypothyroid and have Graves and Hashimoto's, would it be anything to do with thyroid?
I am an intelligent person who likes to keep busy. The only thing I can credit it to was perhaps an upsetting argument with my husband last night, but as I say it's happened a few times now.

I'm curious if anyone else experiences this. Just as I cross the line from being awake to falling asleep, it seems like my body just forgets to breathe. I jolt myself awake and just get right back to sleeping. I don't notice it every night but sometimes it happens a few times before I'm fully asleep.
I'm otherwise a healthy 32 year old male. I go to the gym multiple times a week and don't have any other major health issues other than occasional teeth-grinding at night. I don't snore heavily and I typically wake up rested when I do get to sleep early enough.
