Hi,
Thanks for writing back.
Your symptoms could be due to a chronic worm infestation, tuberculosis, diabetes insipidus or steatorrhoea. I think we would need a few more tests in your case like a fecal fat estimation and a urine examination to rule out steatorrhoea. If this is normal, we'll need to do a CT chest and a sputum examination as well.
Till then, I would suggest that you speak with your physician about treating the chronic worm infestation. We usually treat it with drugs like metronidazole. A course of this and the gastric issues that you have been suffering from should be resolved.
I hope this helps. Please get the tests done and revert back.
Regards

Urine report is already attached.
Hi
I am sorry I missed it. I have seen the reports and now diabetes insipidus is ruled out but I would stick to the rest of my earlier recommendations.
