Hi there,
It becomes difficult to give the proper advice without the details of the history and examination.
But still we can try to get something out of your information.
The details of the problems and the duration of the problems have not been mentioned.
But it happens if anybody goes through some stressful situations, he is likely to have problems in concentration. Are you having problems at work?As per your information, you are not able to concentrate at work place.
If your mind is busy with the stressful situation, your brain will not be able to register the new information in your memory system.So it will be necessary to destress your self . Are you on some drugs of other substance? Those may cause problems.
Next Steps
You need to get the advice from a mental health professional for detailed evaluation.
You can start with Yoga relaxation exercises and other psychological interventions.
Try to have proper sleep.
Health Tips
Be positive in your thoughts.You may need some medications for some time under the advice of mental health professional.
