These symptoms, especially when prolonged and worsening, may indicate an underlying neurological condition that requires thorough evaluation.
In view of your condition, we strongly recommend that you consult with a neurologist as soon as possible. Our Neurology Department is equipped to perform detailed assessments, including neurological examinations, imaging studies (such as MRI or CT scan), and other diagnostic tests to determine the cause of your symptoms and provide appropriate treatment.
