I am asking the above question because it's becoming obvious.

Your question isn't complete without mentioning what retention you referring to.
Loss of retention of memory or loss of retention of urine. You most likely referring to the former

A lot of research has been carried out on the after effects of malaria which points to a lot of hidden damage that lasts a life time for some. Whilst its been touted that constant exposure to malaria creates a form of immunity for some that prevents them from having severe malaria or fevers or seek treatment for mild episodes, recent research in India shows it leaves them with cognitive failures.

Children in sub-Saharan Africa are the most affected, and those who survive often retain life-long disorders which can profoundly lead to deficits in attention, memory, visuo-spatial skills, language and executive functions may occur after malaria infection. These deficits are not only caused by cerebral falciparum malaria, but also appear to occur in less severe infections. P. falciparum seems to affect the brain globally, not in a localised fashion.

Thank you for the insight.

I was actually referring to Loss of retention of memory.

Also, there is this heaviness of my brain, a kind of load that tends to occur after reading for about 5 to 10 minutes. If I try to force myself with the reading, tears will be rolling down my eyes. There'll be also fluid like movement in my head.
Sitting in front of a tutor brings about this headache the more, pushing me to fall asleep.
