Hello!

Welcome on Healthcaremagic!

Your symptoms could be related to osteoporosis or vitamin D deficiency. For this reason, I recommend consulting with your doctor and performing some tests:
- a brain CT scan to examine the scull and the brain
- complete blood count
- blood electrolytes, including calcium and phosphorus
- vitamin D levels
- cortisol plasma levels, for a possible adrenal gland disorder.

You should discuss with your GP on the above tests.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Best wishes, Dr. Aida
