Endocrinologist,  's  Response
Dear Ma'm, Hi! as per your statement you seem to have sub clinical hypothyroidism, I think you need to treat that. Secondly, dark circles and peri orbital puffiness can be due to vitamin D deficiency, Vitamin E deficiency and You must supplement them. Bleeding gums can be due to vitamin C deficiency, infection or due to genetics. Regards!
