Neurological disorders, tiredness, and anxiety Posted: 04-17-08 06:46am
For the past few years I have noticed that
I have become unbalanced. I often trip,
run into things even though I can see
them in my path, and when Im walking or
standing I usually lean to the side. My
coordination has become worse over the
years. I also feel like sometimes when
people are talking to me, my brain isn't
interpreting what they are saying.
Sometimes I have to have them repeat very
simple things so I can process what they
are telling me. Lately I have been finding
it very difficult to talk without mixing
up my words, or not being able to say
exactly what I want. I.E. I will draw a
blank, not being able to fill in the
correct words I need. Occasionally I will
use words that are completely different
than the words I intended to use. The
other day in one of my classes, we did
finger to nose testing and I missed
several times which is apparently an
indication of neuro disorder.
I would like an opinion on what is wrong
with me and what I should do in the
future.
The test nose-finger is used to estimate
the coordinative function of the nervous
system. Symptoms like dizziness, mixing
words, and hard understanding could
indicate a neurological disorder but can
also be due to other conditions like
tiredness and anxiety. According to your
letter, it doesn’t seem to me that you
have problems with writing and expressing
yourself. Anyway, you may want to consult
your GP and a neurologist later, if
necessary.
