Off topic question about "immediate memory problems"

newyorknative wrote:Lately I have been having problems, not with my long term memory or even my short term memory. I call it immediate memory for lack of a better description. I will be talking to someone and forget what I was talking about in mid sentance. Or I will be talking to someone in a restaurant, the waitress will come over and ask if I want more Ice Tea and I will say to the person I am having lunch with, now what was I talking about. I will go to the fridge and forget what I was going there for. I remember having this problem in the past for a few months or 6 months and then my memory went back to normal. Mind you these memory problems do not happen with every conversation nor every trip to the fridge. Any thoughts on this problem.
