Hi ! Good afternoon. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.
It appears that your symptoms are more or less related to your nervous system which could be due to very many causes. As you are not diabetic, we can exclude hypoglycaemia from this group.
If I would be treating you, I would to for a complete cardiac check up for you along with a carotid doppler and an MRI brain if need be to exclude TIA ( Transient Ischemic Attacks). I will also advise a serum lipid profile for you.
In the mean time, when you get yourself investigated, there is no harm in starting aspirin as a blood thinner to prevent complications arising out of the above conditions.
I hope I have answered your question. Thanks for using health care magic forum for your health query. Good luck.
