Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. Thyroid trouble cannot be ruled out. But before that please introspect self about what happened? This could possibly mean stress related disorder. It is possible that such tiredness, lethargy, laziness without appetite and energy loss as after effects of extreme stress. You can question yourself.

Also investigate your physical condition as you are already 60 for any debilitating disorders. For which you must consult your physician for necessary blood and other investigation.

If it is stress related, please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe some psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
