Hi,

This can be due to many reasons like neuropathy which in turn may be due to many causes like diabetes, alcohol, autoimmune disease etc. Your symptoms may also be due to just anxiety, wherein it is common to feel both light-headed and have abnormal sensations. Some vitamin deficiencies can also lead to this. Some people report having these symptoms when their blood pressure is high. I think you should not worry and wait for your appointment with the neurologist. It is unlikely to be anything serious.

Best wishes.
