Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
From the symptoms it seems to be a neurological disorder. It is best to get your self examined by a neurologist before deciding the cause of the problem to be functional. You can also start with methylcobalamin supplements and see if it helps.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. You can consult me again directly through my profile URL http://bit.ly/Dr-Praveen-Tayal
