Accepted Answer

: Proper management of these symptoms will require that you have an in person evaluation with a review of your history, exam and tests if needed. This can be something simple and easily managed or something more serious. Avoiding an evaluation just makes the stress factor worse. Do the evaluation and life can be better. Avoid the evaluation and you have chosen to stay miserable.
