General & Family Physician,  's  Response
welcome to hcm,
i really appreciate your concern,
No i dont think it can be candida as you have no fever and usually fungal infections present with fever.
physical examination:

CBC (blood cell count)
HbA1c
Glucose
Electrolytes
Liver function tests
Kidney function tests
25 hydroxy Vitamin D
8 am serum Cortisol
TSH
Free T4

These tests do not require fasting and can be done at anytime of the day.

The results of these tests will give us some idea as to the cause of your tiredness.

For example, anemia can cause fatigue, as can high sugars or vitamin D deficiency or thyroid problem.
A low cortisol can suggest adrenal insufficiency that can explain your nausea.
And for burping you can take pantoprazole tab once daily.
please let me know if you have any further queries.
thanks. regards
