Hi,
Symptoms you suggested need a careful evaluation. Forgetfulness, especially like the kind you described is too much, and have many causes inside the brain and out like thyroid diseases, infections, vitamin deficiency etc. Thus, this would need a brain imaging along with many blood tests to know the cause as many causes are reversible.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
