Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Welcome to Health Care Magic.

Thanks for writing.

I am Dr.Muhammad Ahmad. I have read your question completely, i understand your concern and will try to help you in best way possible.


Such complaints usually happen in thyroid problems. In hypothyroidism depression and lethargy can be there but there is weight gain usually instead of weight loss.

I think important tests you need to get is a thyroid profile and basic blood tests. The doctor you need to see is and internist and if he find out a hormon issue then endocrinologist.



I hope this answered your question, a
if you have more please feel free to ask.

Regrads.
