can you help me identify my sickness?

[sweeteighteen]

can you help me identify my sickness? the symptoms are: chronic indigestion, weight gain, difficulty losing weight, insomnia, dizziness, irregular heart beat and irregular menstruation.
I was under medication for anxiety for four years. I recently stopped taking xanor and am currently decreasing my seroxat intake. I'm also taking eltroxin 50mcg for the same number of years.
What kind of blood tests do I need to take to help me identify my sickness? From what I read on the net, it may have been brought about by my xanor and seroxat withdrawal or  by my malfunctioning thyroid. But why just now? I have been off xanor for almost 3 months now.
I gained 10 pounds in  a month and counting even after regular exercise and a 1200 calorie diet.  And just to stop gaining I reduced it to 1000 calories.
Help! I'm confused.

Hello,

I feel that all your symptoms are related to hypothyroidism.symptoms of hypothyroidism are fatigue,depression,weight gain,cold intolerance,dry, coarse hair and skin,constipation
,muscle cramps,decreased concentration,vague aches and pains,menstrual disorders,palpitation and swelling of the legs.

I feel that you should consult a physician and get yourself and your thyroid hormone levels evaluated.

Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing.
