Hi,

I have reviewed your information fully. These symptoms do not point to a typical or specific disease condition. For now, they are more transient and not suggestive of a disease condition or an ongoing diseases process. Monitoring is the best way forward. If any new information sets in, share with me for continued review and guidance.

In all, transient and not suggestive of a disease condition. Strongly believe this will regret spontaneously.

I hope this helps. I wish you well and feel free to follow up wth me if need be.
