Your symptoms are not specific to any particular ailment . Start with the basics: rest, nutrition and stress management . Hot flashes can be caused by hypoglycemia , and low thyroid function (hypothyroidism ) . Fatigue may be due to both and the lack of rest ( both duration and quality thereof) . See a doctor who is willing to evaluate all your symptoms and not just give hormone testing .
