I think anyone who is concerned about their health should seek medical advice. head lumps themselves do not cause memory problems but concussions can if the injury was severe enough. only a qualified professional will be able to tell you whether your injuries were severe enough. the other causes range from medication effects and sleep problems to Alzheimer's disease and only a qualified doctor will be able to help with that as well. as with all problems there are usually many possible causes
