Should I see a neurologist??

I am 23 yrs old and for about the past 6 yrs I have been having a problem with my long term memory. I haven't been in any accidents or bumped my head causing a concussion or nothing like that. It has been a problem because when it comes to school I haven't been able to retain the info I learned previously and I have been in college for 5 yrs. I used to have perfect photographic and long term memory. I noticed that I have been suffering from migraines as well. My grandfather died from Alzheimer's disease but I know I'm to young to have it. What could I be suffering from? I'm a healthy person, I eat healthy (I have no choice because my mom is diabetic) and I exercise.

Actually, there is such a thing as Early Onset Alzheimer's.

However, if your short term memory is still working well, it doesn't sound like that might be it. You should see a neurologist. What does your primary doctor say? If I were you, I would have it checked out.

There can be a number of reasons for this. You should have it checked into by a dr , or neurologist. It could be anything from ealry onset of alzheimers or parkinsons, or a brain tumor or other such diseases.
You can try taking natural memory enhancers like glutomine or lecithin to help boost your brain and memory. But definitely do get it checked out.
