Paddy, the best would be to see a neurologist to get a more objective opinion on how bad your memory loss is. Everyone forgets things now and then, but once you start focussing on the whole thing, it tends to become a whole lot more pronounced. The neurologist will also be able to help make a diagnosis if something is wrong. Good luck.
