Start with ECG, chest X ray, and CBC. Depending on findings, your doctor may suggest cardiac enzymes or an ECHO. If breathless, a chest CT may help.

Hello Doctors, i am attaching my blood report and listing my symptoms. I have been suffering from fever for the past four days, only at night, along with muscle aches during the night. My daytime temperature and condition are normal. Could you please clarify whether this is a normal fever or typhoid?

Today my wife 12 week blood report has come. All values are within the normal range except the WBC count, which is slightly higher than the standard range. The normal range is 4000 to 11000 and her result is 12800. Is this normal?
