I won t hold you at it ! What would the possible problems be ? How is it treated? --Ann 910 824-6832  <response>: Hi, I passed carefully through your question and would explain that your symptoms could be related to thyroid gland dysfunction. Other possible causes would be: autonomic nervous system dysfunction, chronic fatigue syn Chat Doctor. For this reason, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician for a physical exam and some tests: - complete blood count for anemia- PCR, ESR for inflammation- thyroid hormone levels for thyroid gland dysfunction- vitamin D and vitamin E plasma levels for possible deficiency. Amitriptyline could help improve your situation, if all the above tests result normal. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
