Brief Answer:
I suggest that you get your thyroid function evaluated.

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks so much fir this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this problem. This could suggest a low functioning thyroid. I will suggest that you get your blood TSH levels and thyroid hormones measured. If the problem is documented at this level, then medications would be offered. I will only resort to supplements if a medical problem is excluded and not before that. Your primary care doctor can make sure that this is done as recommended and necessary.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
