Hello,

These signs and symptoms are not directly related to each other. The bowel movements are usually related to the thyroid function and especially it it's function is low. You should do TSH blood test. The others I am not sure. Better for you to see your doctor for the above.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
