So, I've been noticing something strange happening with my left hand. My middle finger has been twitching randomly, and sometimes I feel a little shiver in the whole hand. Also, there's this weird muscle twitching near my elbow. It's mainly the middle finger that's bothering me the most, and it's got me a bit worried. I'm wondering what might be causing all this and who I should see about it. Could it be something serious?

I've noticed that every time I try to stand on one leg with my eyes closed, I lose my balance. Should I be worried about a nervous disorder? Everything's fine when both legs are on the ground or if I have my eyes open standing on one leg. Plus, I'm having a tough time concentrating and remembering things, like names of old friends and terms from books, which started about a year ago. Could these be related?
