Brief Answer:
Consider blood sugar and thyroid function test....

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand this concern of yours. In this context I would suggest that you get your blood sugar (fasting blood sugar, post prandial blood sugar as well as glycosylated hemoglobin - Hba1c) and thyroid function tests done. The test should be performed early morning in the fasting state.
