Hello,
The symptoms you describe could be due to inappropriate thyroid function.
It is very easy to verify it. You need to do the thyroid hormonal level and if ti within the normal ranges it means that the thyroid functions normally now and it is not the cause of your symptoms. So i would suggest to check:
-TSH,FT4 and FT3 level.
Anyway you should have into consideration that menopause can cause such symptoms.
After the above results do not hesitate to attach them so i can give you further suggestions. It will be a pleasure.
Kind regards,
Dr.Mirjeta
