Hello,
welcome to HCM,

As your iron content is low, you might be suffering from iron deficiency anemia, which will cause weakness, lethargy etc...

You told your doctor said you have thyroid problem, want to know what is the exact problem.

Regarding anemia i advise you take plenty of fresh fruits, vegetables, and use jaggery as it is rich in iron.

Regards
