Hello!
Welcome to HCM!
Your symptoms seem to be related to a chronic infection (bacterial or fungal).
I recommend consulting with your attending physician for a careful physical examination and some blood lab tests:
- complete blood count
- PCR, sedimentation rate
- anti-stretolysine O titer
- throat discharge bacterial culture.
You should discuss with your doctor on the above issues.
Hope to have been helpful!
Best wishes,
Dr. Aida
