Hi,
It is understandable to be concerned. You may need to be reassessed to rule out other causes, this includes physical examination and blood tests. Tests should include complete blood count and electrolyte level. An ESR, to check for inflammation, may also be helpful as well.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Michelle Gibson James
