What Causes Low Energy Levels, Lethargy And Weight Gain?
I am heading into Menapause, so they think... I have been on a diaretic for edema, I now over the past month am suffering from really low energy levels, so lethargic, gained about 8 lbs, which was under control before, bad sleeping and really low hydration levels. The Florsorimide isn t working anymore either... Could something more be going on? I know menopause is a personal journey, haha... a mystery fun bag of tricks, but wonfdering if I can do anything for my symptoms now.
So, you need a detailed examination and few investigations before arriving at a diagnosis. Please consult a physician for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment. Menopause has many symptoms and treatment includes control of vasomotor symptoms like hot flashes etc.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
