Hello,
Thank you for trusting HealthcareMagic,

Physical examination, complete blood count, thyroid function test, renal function test, complete metabolic profile(includes blood sugar level) are needed at this point.

Please be advised to follow up with your primary care provider for further evaluation and management.
