The symptoms sound like someone with hypothyroidism or heart failure, either of which are treatable if you choose to get an evaluation.

Agree with Dr. Ferguson and the issues he pointed out need to be addressed. However, obesity alone can explain most of your symptoms. not easy, but losing weight is imperative. Joining a support group like weight watchers may help. Wish you good health!
