Hello,

It does not seem that her symptoms are related to the mosquito repellent used years ago.
There are many reasons why someone gains weight and most of the time it is taking more calories than she can burn daily. Pathological reasons would include thyroid disorders which might also affect bowel and also might make her more prone to anxiety with experience of shortness of breath.
I would recommend her to have a TSH and FT4 test to check the thyroid function.

I hope I have answered to your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Kind regards,
