Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It may be due to transient ischemic attack or cervical or lumbar root compression with weakness or myasthenia or multiple sclerosis or B12 deficiency etc.
Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is.
Please consult your neurophysician get serum B12 , folic acid levels, MRI spine, check for diabetes, thyroid profile then get treated accordingly.
Take care.
