I was diagnosed in 2017 with ANCA associated Vasculitis but months before the diagnosis, I had the same symptoms as you describe. It is also known as GPA or Wegener's disease. It's fairly rare and and 4 different missed it and it got so bad that my kidneys failed. There is a blood test for ANCA and I would have the doctors test you for it. If it's negative, GREAT! But if it's positive, you could save yourself a LOT of grief.
