Brief Answer:
Need to exclude minor brain strokes.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted your symptoms. Based on that, we need to exclude brain strokes (lack of blood flow to brain). For this, a brain scan such as MRI should be done.
In addition, blood tests such as vitamin B12 & D levels and lipid profile (cholesterol levels) should also be done.
There is no need to worry, as treatment can be done once a diagnosis has been confirmed.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
