Hello!
You shouldnt be worried because these symptoms can be from the menopause and you should eat balanced diet and foods that contain soy(for estrogen).
You should consult and with your endocrinolog to see the thyroid hormonal
balance because you may need to change the dose of medication for the active
thyroid.
Take care of your self
