Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for being on healthcaremagic.com.
I am Dr.Ajay Panwar,a neurologist, here to answer your query.
Your symptoms appear to be non-specific and are probably related to anxiety.Anxiety can very frequently cause such symptoms. However, a personal visit to a neurologist can help by getting a cognitive examination and a neurological examination, so as to detect any abnormality.
However, for now, I am hopeful that mental relaxation exercises like regular meditation will help you a lot. Antianxiety medicines like Clonazepam can also be of help, but should be taken under a Physician's guidance.
Hope that helps.If you have further questions,I shall be glad to have you in follow-up.
