Brief Answer:
could be hormonal imbalance

Detailed Answer:
Hi there,
Welcome to HCM,

The symptoms you are describing could be due to hormonal imbalance.

You should get your blood pressure checked.

Thyroid, prolactin and blood sugar levels should be evaluated as any of their abnormalities could cause these.

Do you have a family history of thyroid or diabetes?

Hope this helps.
Regards.
