If you had any injury you can show it to a neurologist. But if you are just experiences without any physical injury then you need to refocus. The frequency and the intensity of these instances matter. This happens to many people and sometimes we just tend to focus on the negative part and exaggerate it. Our memory has different functions short term, long term and working memory. We sometimes tend to store wrong information in wrong compartment. Like working memory is more for like writing down a friends phone number on notepad. Short term is like remembering something you are not Intrested for exams. And long term is like incidences that have deep associations.
