Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

We have to go for a detailed evaluation to find out the cause. A nerve conduction study is required to confirm whether the nerves are week or not. Consult a neurologist and get evaluated.

Wishing you good health.

Thanks.
