Hello!
Welcome on Healthcaremagic!
Your symptoms could be related to peripheral neuropathy or vitamin B12 deficiency.
For this reason, I would recommend consulting with a neurologist for a careful physical exam and some tests:
- a nerve conduction study
- vitamin B12 levels
- complete blood count
- thyroid hormone levels.
If your physical exam coupled with the above tests result normal, there is nothing to worry about.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Best wishes, Dr. Aida
