Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.
I think you should do a total check up to see your body conditions doing :
1. Total blood count with formula ( red blood cells, haemoglobin, white blood cells, platelets etc.) to check for possible anemia, infection or other issues. Sedimentation for infection and inflammation.
2. Feritimemia you check for iron levels in blood and iron deficiency anemia.
3. Liver function doing total bilirubin levels direct and indirect, liver enzymes ( ALT, AST, GGT, ALP).
4. Nitrogen and urea levels in blood to check kidneys.
5. Glucose levels and HbA1c to check for diabetes or damaged glucose levels.
6. Triglycerides, cholesterol, HDL, LDL, VLDL.
7. Sodium, Potassium, Calcium levels in blood.
8. STD tests ( HIV 1,2 Hepatitis B C, Syphilis etc)
I think this are almost all tests that should have been done to check your overall health.
Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
