Forgetfulness
The other night I forgot to take any of my pills. I woke in the night, my heart was doing funny things. I had a hard time going to sleep. In the morning when I went to get my pills my box showed I did not take my night pills. I have a pill box for day and night.
This is when brain fog really gets in the way, I find that setting an alarm for medication times along with a pill holder can be very helpful. Has your heart since settled down?
- Clair Heart-Failure.net Community ModeratorI do agree with setting an alarm. My aunt has a series of reminders on her phone reminding her to take her medicine. Really recommended!
Hi Emma, thanks for sharing what works well for you aunt. I agree with her that phone reminders are super helpful. I find it especially helpful that each reminder is able to be labeled. -Lauren (team member) 
I definitely agree that setting an alarm is a great idea, but if one has more than one medication to take a cell phone app, such as MyMedSchedule may help to organize all medications by adding them on the app and setting timer for each of the medications. This app also allows a place for allergies and a location to put a medical cardiologist team phone and hospital address on it. Thank you for sharing. Leslie (Community Moderator)
I also have a bit of brain fog and short memory problems. I don’t use a pillbox. I just hold the pills in my hand and walk around with them. By the time I take them I think what am I doing. My brain seems to have trained to remember it. So far so good.
I am glad that you have a system! Taking your medications as directed is so important. Hugs!! Morgan (heart-failure.net Moderator)
