Hi,
Consult a neurologist and get evaluated. Detailed evaluation is required to make a diagnosis. We have to rule out conditions like peripheral neuropathy and multiple sclerosis. As of now include more protein rich foods in your diet.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
