Hi,
Your symptoms suggestive of neuropathy or some form of brain pathology. Your detailed neurological evaluation has to be done.
For that, you need to consult Neurologist who will examine your nerves and will check reflexes.
After examination, if needed your doctor will suggest you investigate with MRI brain scan, vitamin B12 estimation, random blood sugar estimation etc.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
