Hi,

According to your history, the possible causes of your symptoms are:

-Thyroid level fluctuations can lead to weakness, nausea, etc.
-Metformin can lead to side effects like abdominal bloating sensation, weakness etc.So, the steps that can help you are:
-Please consult your doctor once and go for the repeat thyroid profile and ultrasound, to know the present condition of PCOS and Thyroid hormonal levels.
-According to the reports you can adjust the dosage of the drugs with your doctor's advice.
-Long term use of the drugs can increase the severity of the side effects. So, if PCOS resolved according to the ultrasound, you can stop Metformin. If still persisting you can shift to newer alternatives containing Myo-Inositol, L-Methylfolate etc.
-Other measures that can help in treating the PCOS and Hypothyroidism along with medicines are:

*Taking healthy, balanced diet in regular schedule.

*Regular calories burning exercises.

*Maintaining normal Body mass index.

*Have to avoid foods like soy foods, cabbage, broccoli, sweet potatoes etc.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Sree Gouri SR
