Hello,
The best doctor to see would be a neurologist. It is a specialist who deals with conditions affecting the nerves. He or she would do blood tests and may also suggest imaging (depends on previous studies/tests). There are medications that specifically help with nerve-related symptoms, and one of these may be suggested to help you.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Michelle Gibson James
