See an MD: There are too many possibilities to give a list of possibilities about: medical problems, neurological problems, emotional issues are some general categories. The best thing to do is to see your primary care doctor, who could evaluate you and suggest next steps. Hope this answer helps.

Many disorders: Neuropathy, myopathy, spinal cord disorder, multiple sclerosis, various brain diseases, myasthenia gravis, thyroid problems, diabetes, anemia, sleep disorders, medication reactions, depression. This illustrates that you need complete physical exam to start and then your doctor can decide how to proceed.
