Hello,
I would recommend you to go for certain tests like thyroid function tests, hemoglobin, vitamin D levels and ultrasound pelvis rule out poly-cystic ovarian syndrome and other deficiencies as it could be associated with these symptoms.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
