Brief Answer:
GET URINE TESTING DONE

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
THanks for writing to us with your health concern.
Anemia and heart valve disease cannot cause this symptom.
Get a few causes ruled out.
First of all have your blood sugars tested to rule out diabetes.
Next, what medications are you on - some of them can cause such a picture.
Just get a simple urine microscopy exam and a urine culture test - that will tell you if there is any abnormality worth worrying about.
All the best
