Hi and Welcome to Ask A Doctor service. Many diseases can cause such symptoms but common things that we shoud look for thyroid probelm as hypothyroidism can cause all these symtoms .Besides these stress , workload , depression may cause similar things .Sleep apnea also cause fatigue.
So we need to look into all of these ,specially thyroid problem. Some infections like pelvic inflmatory disease can also cause the same.
so get a detailed evaluation and would like to do routine tests and to proceed accordingly.
