Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query. Possibility of rheumatologic problems should be ruled out as you have systemic manifestation of symptoms. In routine blood test there can be increased ESR and anaemia in such case. ANA profile and rheumatoid factor should be checked and a consultation with rheumatogist should be done. A proper drug therapy, follow up and exercises will be helpful to normalize your condition.

Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
