Headaches that have changed in character, frequency or severity rather than simply continuing as they always have. Headaches waking you from sleep, or worse on lying flat, coughing or straining. Using pain medication on many days each month, which can itself convert an episodic problem into a daily one. Facial numbness, drooping or pain that follows a nerve rather than sitting diffusely. Persistent double vision, or visual disturbance that comes and goes in a stereotyped way.
Numbness or tingling in hands or feet persisting beyond a few weeks, spreading, or waking you at night. Weakness of any kind, particularly if it is progressing or making you trip, drop things or struggle on stairs. Repeated dizziness, unsteadiness or falls, especially if worse in the dark. A new tremor, or stiffness and slowness that has come on gradually and started on one side. Muscle twitching combined with weakness or wasting, which is different from ordinary twitching alone.
Memory or concentration difficulty that is interfering with work or home life, particularly if someone close to you has noticed more than you have. Word-finding difficulty beyond the ordinary. Getting lost in familiar places. Any episode of altered awareness, blank staring, unexplained loss of consciousness or convulsive movement, ideally with an account from someone who witnessed it. Acting out dreams physically during sleep, which is associated with certain neurological conditions and is worth mentioning even though it sounds minor.
