Tension and sinus headaches do not cause memory loss. Migraine without aura has not been shown to have any cause for worry.
Migraine with aura does affect portions of the brain, and can change them permanently. They can cause white matter lesions on the brain. Which as of yet we have not been told of that affect on cognitive function for people with migraine. However, there have been studies on people who are elderly. And there was a correlation between how well they did on tests for memory - and the amount of white lesions they had. "In old age, the amount of white-matter lesions contributed 14.4 percent of the variance in cognitive scores." So, it may, but as of this time - we have no conclusive answers.

What does a concussion cause?
There are more than a million cases of concussion each year in the United States. A concussion may result when the head hits an object or a moving object strikes the head. A concussion can result from a fall, sports activities, and car accidents. Significant movement of the brain (jarring) in any direction can cause unconsciousness. How long a person remains unconscious may indicate the severity of the concussion. Often victims have no memory of events preceding the injury, or immediately after regaining consciousness. More severe head injuries can cause longer periods of memory loss (amnesia). Usually, a person has the most memory loss immediately after getting hurt. Some of the memory comes back as time goes by. However, complete memory recovery for the event may not occur. Bleeding into or around the brain can occur with any blow to the head, whether or not unconsciousness occurs. If someone has received a blow to the head, they should be watched closely for signs of possible brain damage.
