Thyroid disorders or anxiety issues requires evaluation.
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for asking.
I am Dr. Prakash HM and I will be answering your query.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows:
1. The symptoms are very vague and I am sure you will also agree.
2. Possible causes, at present I can think of are sleep disturbances affecting body balance, thyroid disorder along with anemia.
3. If tests of thyroid and hemoglobin are done, and sleep is better, further evaluation by a psychiatrist for possible anxiety related causes maybe necessary.
4. Low energy could be attributed to periods of increased anxiety alternating with weaker periods. No medications side effects can be thought of.
5. Anxiety with or without stress appears to be the cause. Ice cream or cold water appears to be anxiety breakers. Get a psychiatrist opinion once to rule out anxiety induced symptoms. Anxiety is not good at this age, especially, the symptoms being shown.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, here to help again.
