Hello,
t can be an exacerbation of fibromyalgia. Rare possibilities like TIA(transient ischemic attack) or mini stroke also be ruled out. Consult a neurologist and get evaluated. An MRI brain is required for further assessment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
