Can anxeity cause you to forget things.?

[Chris]

People tell me anxiety sympotms can be present even when your not haven anxiety or anxiety attack I'm just maken sure this is true right? I know anixety can effect alot of things but I was wondering could it cause you to forget things. Cuz lately I been haven a ideas or new I was about to do something and then I forget with the slightest distraction. I also been zoning people out sometimes they talk to me and I might be on my phone and I don't even remember or hear a word they said. I usually can work my phone and listen at same time. I'm only 19 years old.
