Hi ! Good morning. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

The symptoms you have narrated for such a short duration could be due to any anxiety you might be having at this age. If you do, then these will go off once you manage your anxiety.

However, if the symptoms increase and interferes in your daily activities, I would advise you to consult a neurologist in your area who after examining you clinically, might suggest you for a MRI/CT scan of your head and further management depends on the report of this test.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of the problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic for clearing doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
