Hello,

It is the thyroid problem that causes fatigue and weakness due to underproduction of thyroid hormones in your body system and make you feel weak, without energy and tired. Gain in weight is also due to insufficient production of thyroid hormone. Levothyroxine is a medication that helps to treat hypothyroidism, but never take an overdose of it.

For abdominal bloating take antacids, PPI's and add fiber in your diet. Avoid constipation, junk food and stay hydrated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
