Welcome to Healthcare Magic
First please undergo complete lab test as
HB, TLC, ESR, BLOOD UREA, SERUM CREATININE, SUGAR LEVEL, URINE test, most importantly thyroid test, serum sodium, serum potassium, and lastly abdominal ultrasound
You will get clue in these tests
If everything comes out normal then you have to take tab Fludrocortosone
till lab tests and ultrasound please take well nourished diet and any multivitamin antioxidant combination but take Fludrocortosone as the last resort.
