Brief Answer:
Need further evaluation

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through your question, I understand your concern.
This could be normal, if few disorders are ruled out like hyperthyroidism and tuberculosis.
So get
Complete blood count, erythrocyte sedimentation rate,
Thyroid profile test done.
And review with report.
If test comes normal, then nothing to worry about.
I hope your query is clear now.
Thanks and regards
