Hello,
I understand your concern and would explain that your symptoms could be related to nerve compression.
For this reason, I recommend performing a brain and spine MRI study and some blood lab tests (complete blood count, PCR, ESR, blood electrolytes, vitamin D and vitamin B12 plasma levels).
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka,
