Brief Answer:
A number of causes

Detailed Answer:
Dear sir, I have gone through your question and I understand your concerns...

Since your thyroid test is ok then you should get a blood test for blood glucose level both fasting and postprandial together with a blood test for hemoglobin A1c to exclude diabetes.

Also, you should monitor your blood pressure for one weekday and night to exclude hypotension.

If both are normal you should get a blood test for Uric acid level to exclude gout although it is another less common cause.

I hope you find this helpful helpful
