Hello,

How old are you? Are you alcoholic? or diabetic?

Possible causes are
1. anxiety or depression.
2. alcohol intake.
3. vitamin B12 and B6 deficiency.
4. head injury.
5. Parkinson disease.
6. Alzheimer's disease.
7. multiple lacunar infractions etc.

Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Get it done serum B12 and folic acid levels. Avoid alcohol. Eat green leafy vegetables. Use tablet B complex.

If symptoms not improved please consult your neuro physician he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
