Brief Answer:
You should see a Neurologist.

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for posting your query.

I am Dr Sudhir Kumar, Neurologist, and I would try my best to help you.

I have noted your clinical details. Based on this, you need a detailed neurological examination. I agree if the symptoms are getting worse over time, we need to exclude a tumor. I would agree that MRI brain should be done as early as possible.

I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.

Wishing you good health,

Dr Sudhir Kumar
