Hello
Welcome to HCM
Thanks for posting your query.Your symptoms are mostly suggestive of hypothyroidism.If you have tested your thyroid profile more than 3 months back,you need to check it once again.it might have got deranged.

One more possibiltiy is hormonal disorder related to menopausal age.If you are above 45 years of age,you are in premenopausal group.
These symptoms are common in this age group due to hormonal imbalance.You need to consult a gynecologist and take hormonal replacement therapy.

Hope this helps you.

Thank you
