Should i be concerned about my terrible memory??

Question

For the most part, i can remember everyone's name within my close net group at my college. Everyone who is studying theater along side me (about 15-20) and then of course i come into contact with many other people at my school, but i cant for the life of me remember their names! is this common??? it seems unusual to me. There are about 20-30 people i talk to or say hello to, but i have no clue what their names are, because i cant remember.

i feel like i have Alzheimers, but im only 21 years old!.

plus i've been going to this school for 3 years, and then over the break i forget like 60% of everyone's names.

Why do i have such a poor memory??

Answer 1

Make an appointment with your MD, and have them refer you to a Neurologist for further testing.

Are you having problems with any other kind of memory loss??  It could all be due to stress.
