Hi ! Good morning. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.
You have not mentioned reports of any investigations if done till now. If I were your doctor, I would advise you for a fresh MRI of brain to exclude any organic problem of brain. Also, I would go for your routine blood tests like complete blood count, blood sugar, kidney function tests including serum electrolytes.
At the same time, I would advise you to alleviate any anxiety problem if there is any such. Further management would depend on the reports of the said investigations. Possibly, you should also have a specialist neurological consultation if your problem persists.
I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Shareef
