There may be causes for this ,it may be poor nutrition ,thyroid problem ,anemia ,....if this is the case
You can take omega 3 supplements if you don't eat so much fish ,also if your diet is poor or you have iron deficiency you can take multivitamins with iron inside too ,if the cause from a thyroid problem you can take the necessary treatment for it ,....
If no medical cause these are some advices to train your memory and to be more concentrated :
-Break down long items into smaller pieces. When you’re faced with a complex piece of information, try to break it down into small portions. Your short-term memory can hold between four and seven separate things at once.
-Play games that focus on handling information quickly and correctly. There are learning games online designed specifically to help you train your memory.
-Provide yourself with different forms of stimulation throughout the day. Read a book, even if just a few pages. Stimulate your sense of smell by stopping to smell the flowers. Try different foods and spend some time looking at a natural landscape. Take time for regular social interaction with others. Listen to music.....
-Keep a handle on your stress levels, . Stress is literally toxic to memory; the chemicals your body produces under stress interfere directly with the process of transferring information from short-term to long-term memory. Protect your brain by learning how to minimize the release of these stress chemicals.
-Practice active listening during class. You should listen attentively and write down summaries of the teacher’s concepts, ideas, and facts that are introduced, as well as connections that occur to you from other reading.
-When you study your notes, introduce various review techniques. Don’t just read the text or your notes: Read them aloud. Consider rewriting them by hand if you usually use a laptop or tablet to take notes, or vice versa
-Make meaningful use of flash cards. Prepare flash cards on the subject you want to memorize, with the name (word, picture, concept) on one side and the answer on the other. Just writing them out is good practice.
- Study regularly and often,but not always for long periods. Studying frequently will help you build long-term memories you can easily recall, as well as give you a positive, regular habit that builds your work ethic..
-Keep your brain fueled. Eat regularly, and try to focus on protein and vegetables; fish, green leafy vegetables, and kidney beans are especially beneficial. Complex carbohydrates like whole grains, lentils, and brown rice give you sustained energy, as well. While you shouldn’t over-indulge, studies indicate that a little caffeine (especially coffee and green tea)can help your long-term brain health, too.
So if you made all these and nothing changed if you had other symptoms ,you can go and have a blood test to order simple causes
