If it were me, I'd ask my PCP for help figuring out which kind of specialist, and it may take more than one. I'm reminded of the old joke that a GP treats what you have, and a specialist thinks you have what s/he treats.

I've been to a few neuros for various reasons. Don't expect much the first visit (though you may get lucky); usually a discussion about what's wrong, and maybe a generalized workup that feels/seems more like a sobriety test. Then you'll get scheduled for some testing, and then a follow-up to discuss the results of the testing.

what to expect neurologist
