Hi,
Welcome to the HCM.
I would suggest ,get her thyroid profile first,to rule out any abnormality ,as thyroid hormone maintains metabolism of body.Else if she is taking any medicines ,it should also be ruled out,as some medicines can cause these type of side effects.Make sure she is not having any bowl problem.Take care of her diet and drink plenty of water.
With thyroid profile,get her routine test too and discuss further.
Hopefully my answer will be helpfull.
