Hello sir ,
Your symptoms are vague , not pin-pointing to a particular diagnosis.I would suggest few basic investigations that could help rule out common conditions like renal problems , Thyroid related problems and diabetes.
Hemoglobin , Serum creatinine, urine routine ,Serum electrolytes, FBS, PPBS ,serum TSH.
Kindly get these invetsigations done and review with your physician.
Hope i was of help.
