Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
These kind of symptoms in post menopausal women are commonly seen with
1. Hypothyroidism
2. Hypoproteinemia
3. Hormonal imbalance
4. Calcium and vitamin D3 deficiency
5. Vitamin B12 deficiency.
So better to consult doctor and get done thyroid function test, serum protein level, hormone levels, calcium, vitamin D3 and vitamin B12 levels.
If any deficiency then you will need supplements.
Don't worry, you will be alright. First diagnose the cause and then start appropriate treatment.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
