Over the past few years I’ve had my fair share of memory problems. Nothing too severe, just slight forgetfulness, and it really never impacted my life. Well, the last few months, I’ve been having severe forgetfulness. I forget names of friends and family members, how to spell simple words without using spell check, songs I used to play from memory on the piano, I forget appointments, simple daily tasks, and things people just shouldn’t be forgetting at my age. In addition to this, I have periodic dizzy spells, every day I have a headache of some form. Some days it’s nauseating migraine headache, and others just a slight pulsing pain. I’m also always feeling tired, I often get over 10 hours of sleep and it does help me, but I don’t always feel rejuvenated.

There are a few things that I suspect could be causing this. The #1 is my weight. Granted I don’t consider myself to be obese, I’m 5’8" and 253 pounds, but was over 275 in the summer, and am continuing to slowly lose weight, yet with the weight loss the symptoms have not subsided.
I’ve also suspected sleep apnea, I believe I have a deviated septum, as I simply cannot breathe through my nose, and I’ve awaken many times during the night because I closed my mouth and could not breathe.

I know I should definitely see a doctor, but I want to have all of my needed information before I go, as I cannot afford to go. If anyone has some advice or helpful tips, I would appreciate it. Just let me know if you need more info. Thanks for your help.
Just realized I didn’t post my age or gender. 23year old male.
