Scary neurological symptoms on n off
Am a 26-year-old male having recurrent episodes of neurological-type symptoms: • right-sided heaviness/“weakness” feeling (hand and foot more noticeable) • dizziness/light-headedness • mild head pressure There is no objective weakness — I can lift my arm and leg, walk normally, walk on heels/toes, grip objects, and do fine finger movements. Strength and coordination appear normal, but the right side feels achy/heavy. These episodes do not start suddenly like a stroke and usually last for several hours. History: • 2024: similar episode → CT brain normal • March 2025: severe episode → MRI brain normal • Symptom-free for months, now symptoms have returned since yesterday/today. I want to know the possible causes, whether any further evaluation is needed, and how to manage or prevent these episodes.
