Question : Several times today I had to do something and then immediately forgot what I was doing, or had to do. I also just started having severely blurred vision and light spots in my left eye
Brief Answer:
Hello. This could be a variant migraine headache
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Variant migraine headaches have the migraine aura like with the symptoms you mention but without the actual headache.
That said, this could also be a transient ischemic attack--a threatened stroke--so I'd advise you to see a doctor right away for an exam and possibly a cardiac workup and MRI of the brain if the physician thinks those are warranted.
Please let me know if you need any more information.
Regards
