Hi
Thanks for posting on HCM
The symptoms you present may be caused by many medical conditions some of which are:
-Metabolic problems including ionic imbalances
-Diabetic neuropathy
-Peripheral neuropathy
-Neurologic pathologies like MS
-Deficiency in some essential vitamins
-Liver and kidney disorders
With all these possible causes, i will suggest you visit the Doctor for examination.Work-ups like a full blood count, serum electrolytes, fasting plasma glucose, vitamin levels, liver and kidney function tests will be needed.If no cause is found, tests like CT scan or MRI and electromyography may be needed.
Hope my answer will help you
Best regards
I find this answer helpful
