Hello,

I can understand your concern and feel sorry to learn about your bothersome situation. You need a detailed clinical examination and the below mentioned exams:

- CBC (Complete Blood Count, also known as Hemogram

- Hemoglobin, WBC and Platelet counts

- Electrolytes (Sodium and Potassium in particular)

- HbA1c (Glycosylated Hemoglobin = your last 3 months' glucose average)

- Liver function tests (SGOT , SGPT, Albumin, Bilirubin, Alkaline Phosphatase)

- Kidney function tests (BUN, Creatinine)

- TSH (checks your thyroid)

- Free T4 (this too checks your thyroid)

- 25 hydroxy Vitamin D levels (ideal range 40 to 60 ng/ml = 100 to 150 nmol/liter)

-Calcium

None of these tests require any fasting and can be done at any time of the day.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Kind regards,
Dr. Mirjeta
