Brief Answer:
not looking due to any neurological problem.

Detailed Answer:
Its nice to hear that you have not other symptoms, and free from hypertension and diabetes.


After going through your history ,this is not looking due to any neurological problem.


So I would suggest you to follow these steps and some necessary investigation for further management -

1) To avoid shower for 2 to 3 days and also avoid more cold and more hot water for bath.

2) Complete blood count.

3) Thyroid profile to rule out the thyroid disorder because you weight is more.

4) Lipid profile.

These above test can be done with the help of local doctor.


Hope this answers your question.
