Hi,
Welcome to HCM. I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Most of the above symptoms could be due to lack of thyroid hormone in your body. You should consult your physician immediately to get yourselves started on thyroid hormone replacements.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
Regards
