Hi lybrate-user. First of all, let’s try to understand what’s causing you to feel anxious. Try basic relaxation techniques like deep breathing when you feel anxious. It may be useful.

You are under some stress to suffer poor memory. But if you want to get super memory or become a genius you can do the following: One way to reduce stress in an emergency is to puff up your cheek with air pressure and hold it for about ten counts. The back pressure it creates presses the back of your throat where the vagus nerve is present.
