Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Most likely, explanation for these events is thyroid abnormalities so get your thyroid tested. If it come out to be normal then some more information will be needed like any other symptoms, and age. Are you a female, if yes, then any menstrual abnormalities is there or not. Also these can be the age related changes.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
