Hmmmm: Those symptoms as described, do not really go along with any specific disease that "jumps out." It is recommended to get an exam, have your thyroid checked along with routine labs such as a blood count and electrolytes to help diagnose any underlying issues that may cause your symptoms. Best wishes.
