You may have clotting tendency.

Detailed Answer:
Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You may have some clotting tendency. It means your blood is sticky and chance of clot formation anywhere in the body is present.
Your symptoms are variable. Few of them are related to that and other are due to some other reason.
You should go for complete coagulation profile, complete blood count, ESR, x ray chest.
Go through this primary testing and then we will go for further testing according to need.
