Hello
You should run following tests:
- complete blood count
- urine analysis
- liver/kidney/pancreas function test
- lipid profile panel
- blood electrolytes
- fecal occult blood test
- abdominal ultrasound
- fasting blood glucose test
- HbA1C test
When you see cardiologist he will run a complete cardiac check up:
- EKG
- echocardiogram
- or even stress test if needed, he will decide.
All the best.
