It needs detailed autoimmune and relevant blood workup

Detailed Answer:
Hi! Thanks for the feedback. With these symptoms, it necessitates to have work up for the development of all these symptoms and to start with basic autoimmune diseases workup should be started, including the baselines investigations like CRP, ESR, ANA as well as RA factor. Alongwith these LDH and other baselines like complete blood pictures with peripheral film, and relevant workup for blood dispirders, is also a good way to start with. The goal is to diagnose the cause promptly and to deal with it hence. An Echo cardiogram and chest Xray for the symptoms like shortness of breath also needs to be done as it can also be a sign in autoimmune diseases.
