Suggest Remedy For Sudden Drop In Energy Levels

Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone through the details. The first thing that I would suggest is to get a thyroid profile done. The thyroid is a gland that secretes a hormone called thyroxine which controls our metabolism. Since her activity is reduced, it is possible that she is suffering from hypothyroidism. In such a case, suitable treatment would make a difference. I would also suggest you to check her fasting blood sugar alongwith.
