Hypothyroidism is common and causes a wide range of symptoms. Some of the symptoms you describe would be consistent with hypothyroidism, but would also be consistent with other causes as well. Hypothyroidism is easily diagnosed with a blood test, and fortunately easily treated with daily medications. I would recommend discussing your concerns with your doctor.

Best of luck!
You are very welcome. I hope you get to feeling better!
You should have the following tests done to determine if this is hypo or hyperthyroidism:

--TSH, Free T3, Total T3, Free T4, Total T4, TPO AutoAntibodies, Thyroglobulin, Anti-Thyroglobulin Antibody, Reverse T3.

Your symptoms actually sound more like hyperthyroidism to me. The most common cause of that in our practice is Hashimoto's thyroidits which is common among young women.
Thank you so much
