Subject: Dyslexia . . . or something else

I'm in Grad. school and have always been a slow reader, but specific problems have made me wonder if there's a little more to it. My main problems are:
I have trouble reading unless I follow along with my finger or keep the book only inches away from my face (I have no vision problems)
Problems understanding a sentance/paragraph even when I understand each word individually
When writing, I'll write letters out of sequence or words out of order (EXTREMELY frequently)

It was suggested by a few professors that I may be dyslexic, but I'm not sure whether to pursue the (expensive) search or if I'm barking up the wrong tree. Any advice? Thanks!!
