Depends: A detailed dietary, medical history and physical examination is required to suggest what dietary deficiency if any you may have. Your immune system, may be affected by any recent illness. Some simple blood tests can be performed by a general internal medicine or family physician. Pl stop worrying and get yourself checked by a qualified physician for a plan of recovery. Hope you feel better!

Need thyroid checked: You need to see a doctor and have your thyroid and other blood tests checked. An overactive thyroid and several other problems could cause these symptoms. In the mean time take a multivitamin and extra vitamin C and D. See a doctor soon.
