Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

First of all, I would like to reassure you that there is no need to worry about your current symptoms.

They are most likely due to over-strain of muscles and fatigue. It would improve with rest.

However, if you do not get better in a few more days, then, a brain scan should be done to exclude any ischemia (lack of blood flow to the brain). Also, thyroid profile and vitamin B12 level should be checked.

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,
