Hi there, I have understood your concern and I will suggest you the best possible treatment options.

First of all do not panic.

Your symptoms can be due to Thyroid dysfunction and or abnormal glucose metabolism.
Please get thyroid function tests done and blood sugar levels fasting and post lunch done.
Alao, complete blood count and urine routine examination is advisable.
If needed, as per your blood reports , please seek consultation from your treating doctor for Thyroid issue and diabetes if gets detected.

Please opt for a healthy diet and regular exercise regimen.
Include more portions of fruits and vegetables and salads in daily diet.
Drink plenty of water in the day.
Avoid refined sugars and deep fried foods and bakery products in the diet.
Please take Iron, Calcium, protein and vitamin B 12 and Folic acid supplementation on regular basis.
Meditate regularly.
Think positive.
Things will be fine in the due course of time.
