Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Malaria can present in many ways and half-treated Malaria can cause multiple symptoms.
Hence your symptoms can be attributed to malaria or can be due to additional factors too.
Hence I would advise you the following:
Malaria treatment can be done on OPD that is outpatient basis.
it is not very costly as you think.
Consult your Family Physician, get investigated for malaria and other causes after a clinical evaluation and get treated accordingly.
There is no need to visit a costly hospital.
Take multivitamins and mineral and Vitamin D if the blood reports of Vitamin are less than the range.
Also get the thyroid, typhoid tests along with for diabetes.
Complete the course and also take care to be away from mospito bites, use some repellents, use mosquito nets at bedtime

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
