I also forget object and also names of the persons I met. I hardly remember a new name after asking the name for atleast 5 days in a row. If I don't ask again, I would forget the name forever. I have to spend some time to remember the object and its 50-50 chance that I will remember it. I have pituitary microadenoma, don't know that has to do with it or not.
It could be anything - so you have to see a doctor. If you have a sudden change like that, see a doctor. Sooner rather than later. Don't guess - get testing.
All anyone can do on the internet is guess. Please see a doctor.
No. Going on23rd. Someone told me maybe thyroid issue.
