Brief Answer:
She might have hypothyroidism. Please, get her TSH and thyroid hormones!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

U have reviewed this information and this is most suggestive of a possible hypothyroidism. To further investigate this, I will suggest that her TSH levels as well are thyroid hormones should be evaluated. Communicate the results to me for interpretation and further insights.

I hope this helps. I wish her well. Let me know if more details and clarifications are required.
