Hello, Please get a thyroid assay done, because less active (hypothyroid) thyroid, can cause ll the mentioned symptoms plus weight gain. If TSH values are high then it shows presence of hypothyroidism and it is treated, most of the symptoms mentioned will be controlled. Elevation of WBC count may be seen if there is a low grade infection. Thankls
