On a small scale, when I hit the floor each morning, I can feel a unsteadiness. October of last year this happened only it was a little more noticeable, it effect my speech and my hand. I had a MRI and corotid artery
check and all was found ok (these symptoms were not continuous (come and go). I went to a neurologist in
January 2016 and the symptoms were so light, the doctor ask for me to comeback in May. I am a strong beliver
in prayer/Jesus Christ my ultimate healer and April 7,2016 soon as my feet hit the floor I new I was healed.
The symptoms are now very light in my hands and my balance (no speech problems). it is like I am floating,
just a strange feeling.

Brief Answer:
Tests are necessary first.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.

I have read your question and understand your concerns.

One of the neurological conditions that may cause your symptoms is transient ischemic attack, and a brain MRI is necessary to evaluate this possibility or any small strokes, besides carotid arteries MR.

If there is any vitamins or mineral deficiencies that may cause such concerns, yes, it is possible, but confirmation with blood tests is necessary.

In this case vitamin B1, B12 levels and electrolytes levels ( potassium, sodium, magnesium, calcium ) in blood, should be evaluated with appropriate blood tests.

If any abnormal value is found, it should be corrected.

In conclusion, tests are necessary to evaluate if there is anything to be corrected or not.

Discuss with your Doctor about these issues.

Hope you found the answer helpful.

Let me know if I can assist you further.
