Hi,
Yes, I want you to see the neurologist too. You have a paralysis of the sixth nerve. It can happen in hypertension and diabetes and also in any brain lesion. The nerve has a long course and can also undergo spasm at some areas.
You should also undergo blood tests. Start taking Vitamin B12 but it takes three to four months to recover.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Harshita
