Might I suggest a complete blood test..

The night sweats are a concern, as if severe, they are one indication of another issue.

Also any repeated infections can also be an indicator of another issue, and is sometimes due to a low iGA, iGM or iGG level. ( Or possibly a low vitamin D..)

Time for some further investigation

I agree with Kwenda. Night sweats need to be investigated, have you specially mentioned them to your GP?

Thank you both. I have an appointment at my GP now on Monday so watch this space!
