Hello,
The acute nature of symptoms suggest the possibility of a neurological problem behind them.
I think you should consult a neurologist as soon as possible to clarify the doubts. He would do some tests- make you do some exercises and carry out a neurological examination to form a diagnosis. The doctor also might ask you to get a CAT scan or an MRI brain to rule out any organicity there.
Even a fundus examination of eye is helpful in determining the brain pressure.
Im not sugesting these things to make you panic but Im conerned about you after looking at the symptoms mentioned.
There is not enough detail available in query to pin point the possible causes behind all this ( of course you will not know what all details are required from you in this situtaion).
So, in short - a visit to the neurologist is the wisest thing to be done.
Wish you best of health!
