Hello,

Thank you for providing the additional information.

The symptoms are not very specific. - Means not suggestive of any single diagnosis. It is good that you are maintaining an active lifestyle . Your symptoms need some testing and evaluation. I recommend a complete blood count, liver , thyroid function tests, Heavy metal screening, Vit B12 levels and an MRI based on the blood test results.

You can get in touch with me or your GP with the tests results. Meanwhile you should take a Vitamin B complex supplement. Include fruits and vegetables in diet. Most likely this is passing phase, non specific. But to be sure, its better to have these tests done. Heavy Metal screening might have been done recently considering your nature of work. You can enquire with your employer / occupational health expert regarding this.

Hope this helps
Please feel free to ask followups
Thank you

A non organic problem out of anxiety / stress / depression is one possibilty. Heavy metal toxicity / metabolic conditions including diabetes should also be ruled out.
