Your symptoms could be related to peripheral neuropathy. For this reason, I would recommend consulting with your doctor and performing a nerve conduction study (electroneurography) to exclude this possible cause. Other blood lab tests are necessary too : complete blood count, iron plasma levels, fasting glucose, kidney and liver function tests, blood electrolytes, etc.. If all these tests result normal, you should consider anxiety as a possible cause of your complaints. Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Kind regards, Dr. Aida
