Brief Answer:
Agree with Dr XXXXXXX and Dr XXXXXXX
Detailed Answer:
Hi Mr XXXX,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted your symptoms, test results and treatments in detail, and got a clear picture.
First of all, I would like to reassure you that you are not suffering from any serious neurological disease. This is because your CT scan of head is within normal limits.
Also, doing an MRI is more for reassurance, as I do not expect to find any abnormality on the MRI, looking at your symptoms.
Your symptoms seem to be growing, most likely, as you seem to be too concerned or anxious about them.
At this point, you can continue with your current treatment. If you still feel you are getting worse, then, it would be wise to see a neurologist to get a complete clinical neurological examination done. If any abnormality is found, then, you can get MRI of brain done.
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,
