Inability to recall names

2017-08-10 09:40:37
Past few years, I'm unable to recall names of people I meet, adjectives I use in a sentence, or even names of items. Earlier I shrugged it off blaming the sheer number of people I used to meet in a day and now that I'm confined to an office room, I've started to realise that this is getting worse. I'm 27 turning 28, and this doesn't sound normal.
