Hi,
From your history, you require evaluation of your case.
Go for X-ray chest,
Go for complete blood check with ESR,
urine routine and microscopic.
There are few diseases in which this type of problems are common.
Consult pulmonologist and get examined and investigated.
Rule out Tuberculosis,COPD and chronic bronchitis.
Ok and take care.
