Hi,
Your symptoms could be related to an infection or vitamin D deficiency. Coming to this point, I would recommend performing a brain CT scan and some blood lab tests (complete blood count, PCR, sedimentation rate for inflammation, calcium and vitamin D plasma levels). If all these tests result normal, there is nothing to worry about.
Hope to have been helpful. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Kind regards,
Dr. Aida
