Hi !
Thank you for your query.
Dear ,
Looking into your problem i would say that you have provided very non specific history . Since you mention about no joint pains it is not arthralgia .considering your young age and history of hairfall along with sinus infections suggestive of weak immunity , iron deficiency anaemia and thyroid dysfunction needs needs to be evaluated first . You need to get a CBC , S. ferritin and Thyroid profile needs to be done. Third possibility will be to rule out any autoimmune disease, but first these two common causes needs to be evaluated.
Hope you are satisfied with the answer.
If you have any further queries feel free to ask.
Wish you good health.
Take care.
