Brief Answer:
Need evaluation...

Detailed Answer:
Dear Madam,

Thank you for posting your query on HCM.

Well looking into your query I will like to tell you that it will be very difficult to give you a diagnosis based on this as these complaints are very non specific; but still considering her age autoimmune disease like SLE will be the first bet and it needs to be ruled out . I think you should get ANA and ENA levels done .

Next if all these come normal then there is a probability of chronic fatigue syndrome or Fibromyalgia . You should discuss this with your treating doctor and consider his advise over the same as since he has examined your daughter he remains the best judge of the situation. In my opinion these conditions are a very strong possibility if other diseases have already been looked into .

Take care.
