Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
In my opinion, you should definitely consult neurologist and get done clinical examination and MRI of brain to rule out parkinsonism or Alzheimer's disease. If MRI is normal then no need to worry for any brain diseases. Sometimes stress, anxiety and panic disorder can also cause similar symptoms. So consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution. You may need anxiolytic drugs (Propranolol and Flunarizine combination) too. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. But first rule out brain pathology.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
