Hi ! Possibly your thyroid status is tending towards hypothyroid status, where all the symptoms you have mentioned can occur. Therefore, I would advise you to go for a Thyroid function test, and consult your treating doctor with the report.
Wishing you an early recovery. Thanks.

hello, i think the weight gain and tiredness could be as a result of less thyroid hormones. maybe the doses need to be increased but you should first talk to an endocrinologist. thanks
