One very rudimentary test I've done is to check my pulse rate from lying flat to standing to check for signs of orthostatic hypotension. I haven't seen any significant increase in heart rate. Thankfully I've never fainted in my life but I have gotten dizzy a few times standing up too quick.

If you cannot empty your bladder it is an emergency. In my case I had the opposite problem. My bladder was empty but there was a strong urge to empty it 24hr a day. This was absolutely horrible with no sleep and going over 100 times in a day for over a week. Guess what gave me relief? Anxiety meds.
Make sure that when you do this heart rate test you wait at least 2 minutes after standing and then measure. The key is sustained increase in heart rate IIRC.
While you must absolutely see a neurologist you can also do an almost full neurological exam on yourself including reflexes, strength, sensory, and all the provocative tests. I did this and it exactly matched what my neurologist found which was nothing.
