Guillian barre is an acute condition which fastly progresses ,within days it progresses,it starts from
Toes and proceeds upwards ,so it can cause respiratory paralysis. Also sensory reflexes are gone.it is ascending type of paralysis.patient is admitted and treated with immunoglobulin and plasma exchange.
But from ur history nothing can be made out to fit into this diagnosis.
U may be having some other neurological disorders,which musted be tested laboratorially. Or it can be metabolic where blood testing can help .
Kindly refer to neurologist.
