Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It is all the age related symptoms (Geriatric) and no specific pathology is there but it is the physiological changes due to age, and no cure is there for this symptoms because it is not the disease condition that can be cured, and even nothing to worry about it, some the symptoms suddenly vanish just wait for that.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Akhtar Husain
