: Your lab result and symptoms are suggestive of auto-immune disorder and that can explain the petechiae as well. It would be prudent to consult a rheumatologist. Visit this site for general information on this topic: https://medlineplus.gov/autoimmunediseases.html

The ANA 1:320 is suggestive of Auto Immune Disorder (Problem with the Immune System). A visit with the Rheumatologist/ Immunologist might be helpful at this time.
