The most likely causes for symptoms like these are good old anxiety (if you are prone to severe anxiety). Let's not bother with the 'There's no way anxiety can be causing this!' because it absolutely can - which people tend to find out once all tests have failed to find anything sinister.
Or, it can be due to nerve impingement which most of my 'MS' symptoms turned out to be..
I got my health anxiety under control years ago
It's not under control now because you're here seeking reassurance.
HA is a sneaky bugger. There is always the potential for it to creep back in, especially when we stop doing the things which helped us to get better, and I'd say that our mate HA is paying you a visit for sure.
As far as I'm concerned, it's common sense to get neurological symptoms checked out, but it's most likely not going to be what you fear it is.
