Hi,
There is no need to worry about your current symptoms, as they do not suggest any serious brain disease. You need to take rest and relax a bit. Also, ensure that you get a proper sleep.
If these symptoms persist, then, please consult a neurologist and get evaluated. An MRI of brain may be done to exclude ischemia (lack of blood supply to brain).
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health.
Regards,
Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
