Hello, welcome to healthcaremagic,
I read your question and here is my advice.
She may be suffering from hypothyrosis and should do
`T3.T4.TSH to check thyroid function
Also she should do a total blood count to check for iron deficiency anemia.
Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
