Brief Answer:
Vitamin D and B12 levels should be checked.

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thank you for asking HCM

I have gone through your query. Low vitamin D or B12 can cause these symptoms. So better to rule out that by doing tests for vitamin B12 and Vitamin D levels in blood. You should also get a blood routine test including ESR. ESR will be elevated in case of any inflammatory process running in the body.
If B12 and D levels are low then taking supplements of those will be helpful to clear your problem.

Let me know if anything not clear.
I am happy to help you.
Thanks.
