(3)low vitamin b12 or folate
(4)liver or kidney disease
(5)side effect of medication
(6)exposure of toxins
(7)infections such as shingles
(8)nerve conditions such as stroke or ms

(10) some hormonal causes eg thyroid disease or autoimmune diseases
To determine the cause, if it continues or it is severe, then you would to be assessed.
This would involve physical examination and blood tests (screening for diabetes, vitamin b12 and folate levels, liver and kidney assessment, complete blood count)
