I think it’s reasonable to recommend a doctor’s visit to rule it out, though. I’d personally feel better if I were experiencing that and a doctor said there was nothing more serious going on.
That goes to show how variable the human condition is. I had an MRI a while back for an unrelated issue and the doc found that I have a Chiari malformation in my spine near my brain stem. I’ve never had any symptoms from it whatsoever. Before MRIs were common, it was expected that a change the size of mine would cause problems, because when people with symptoms got surgery to fix them, that’s the size range the doctors found. Turns out there are a lot of people up and about with those same measurements who’d never know unless it turned up on a test like mine did. Go figure.
