× Because of my pyramid pulse and also some hormonal changes, it becomes more and more difficult to memorize things and I'm trying to deal with that.
✓ Because of my rapid pulse and also some hormonal changes, it becomes more and more difficult to memorize things and I'm trying to deal with that.
The phrase 'pyramid pulse' is incorrect and likely a mishearing or typo. The correct term is 'rapid pulse'. This is a vocabulary error rather than a grammar error, but correcting it improves clarity.
× I tried to uh, write uh, everything down and also I am noting in my calendars.
✓ I tried to, uh, write everything down and also I am noting it in my calendar.
The phrase 'noting in my calendars' is awkward and incorrect. The correct preposition is 'noting it in my calendar' (singular). Also, 'calendars' should be singular unless the person uses multiple calendars, which is unlikely here.
× I need to remember my pills, uh, my vitamins, and also I have to remember the schedule of my husband and my family to help them to organize everything and also to feed my dog.
✓ I need to remember my pills, uh, my vitamins, and also I have to remember the schedules of my husband and my family to help them organize everything and also to feed my dog.
The word 'schedule' should be plural 'schedules' because it refers to multiple people (husband and family) each having their own schedule. Also, 'help them to organize' is better as 'help them organize' for natural English.
× I have to remember the schedule of my husband and my family to help them to organize everything and also to feed my dog.
✓ I have to remember the schedules of my husband and my family to help them organize everything and also to feed my dog.
The phrase 'help them to organize' is grammatically correct but in natural English, 'help them organize' is preferred. The preposition 'to' after 'help' is often omitted.
× I use those push up notifications from my calendar and I think that I can deal with important things that I have to memorize.
✓ I use those push notifications from my calendar and I think that I can deal with important things that I have to memorize.
The phrase 'push up notifications' is incorrect. The correct term is 'push notifications'. 'Push up' is a different phrase unrelated to notifications.
