Dry continuous cough, pain on the joints, skin rashes, other tests need to be performed such as a ct scan or xray followed by a biopsy to confirm diagnosis

If you suspect that you have sarcoidosis cuz you should contact your doctor and have test done. A biopsy is the only true way to find out. If you have night sweats and rapid weight loss those are two key symptoms

Many of the symptoms that sarcoidosis present are common with other diseases too. Your best advice would be to see the doctor that knows you best, your family physician. Keep a list of symptoms that you would like to discuss with your doctor. Be as open and as honest as you can with your doctor to get his best advice. If you still feel like there is something wrong that he did not diagnose get a second opinion.

You don't know. In my case I felt like I had the flu. I went to the doctors and we did so many tests I couldn't tell you how many. To find out in the end I had sarcoidosis

Signs, symptoms, and doctor depends on the part of the body affected.
