Hello,

Ideal approach would be to get a clinical evaluation done by your doctor and let doctor tailor investigations for you.As there are long list of investigation that can be done in case like yours.

Commonly suggested investigations are chest xray,ECG,liver function tests,kidney function tests,thyroid hormone levels, blood lipids,CBC,sonography of abdomen etc.

Hope this answers your question.
