HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Thyroid disease can affect the weight. An increase in thyroid hormones can cause weight loss and a decrease can be associated with weight gain.
It can also have an effect on menstrual cycles as well but is not likely involved in the change in temperament, fainting and dizziness.
You can consider taking her to her doctor to have her hormone levels assessed and also to determine the cause of her symptoms.
I hope this helps
