I think it is a good idea to see your PCP. Take his or her advice about a neurologist. Best for you to give up any cigs and not drink. Both cause so many physical issues. Don't feel embarrassed, just go and be truthful. Assuming is more stressful than the truth. There are a lot of very educated people here on this site that will support you. I am on the holistic side, on no meds, but there is a place for our docs. I am concerned.
