Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, you might be having post menopausal syn Chat Doctor.  After menopause, there are a lot of hormonal changes like low estrogen, progesterone etc. All these changes can cause similar kind of symptoms. So better to first consult gynecologist and get done hormone levels to rule out hormonal imbalance. You may need hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Another possibility is vitamin B12 and vitamin D3 deficiency. So get done blood levels of these vitamins and if deficiency then you will need supplements. Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
