What could be the reason for constant fatigue, lightheadedness, hair loss and brittle nails?

Question

Hi doctor,

I am a 37-year-old female. I feel constantly fatigued, even after getting ample rest. I have noticed significant hair loss and brittle nails. Additionally, I often feel lightheaded and have difficulty concentrating. What diagnostic tests or procedures should I undergo to confirm this condition? Is this treatable? Are there any dietary changes or supplements that could help alleviate these symptoms?

Thank you.

I will suggest you a few tests. Revert with the reports, I will check and suggest the treatment options available.
