Don't know exactly
I've been unusually sleepy and fatigued, I've gained abdominal weight and my clothes have gone from S/M to L, my waist increased from 30 to 32 inches, and I don't feel energetic.
Also, shortness of breath if I do any activities, i mean any work or sweeping, also I get dizziness sometime. Bloating and takes lot of time to digest. Feels like I want to sleep all the time. I get 3 days periods only, nowadays. I used to have 7 days period. I don't know what issues I'm facing internally. But I know I'm not feeling well.

Your symptoms of persistent fatigue, excessive sleepiness, dizziness and breathlessness on exertion can have several causes, including anemia, thyroid problems, nutritional deficiencies, hormonal changes or other medical conditions. The change in menstrual pattern and recent weight gain are also relevant and should be assessed together.
Next Steps
Please consult a physician for a clinical examination. Depending on the evaluation, tests such as CBC/hemoglobin, thyroid function tests (TSH), blood sugar, iron/B12 levels and other investigations may be advised. If there is any possibility of pregnancy, a pregnancy test should also be considered.

Hello
You need a proper clinical evaluation rather than simply reassurance or empiric vitamins. The combination of fatigue, exertional dyspnea, dizziness, weight/waist gain, digestive symptoms and a change in menstrual pattern has several possible causes. Thyroid dysfunction, for example, can present with tiredness, weight change, menstrual abnormalities, breathlessness and bowel symptoms, but these symptoms are nonspecific
Do consult for better evaluation and treatment plan

I understand your concern. Persistent sleepiness, abdominal weight gain, bloating and change in periods need evaluation for thyroid problems, anemia, blood sugar issues and PCOS; dizziness also needs checking. I would not ignore these symptoms or self-medicate. Please consult me through Practo or visit Synergy Multispeciality Hospital, Miraj for an examination and appropriate tests.

Your shorter periods along with tiredness, weight gain, and breathlessness on exertion could point to a hormonal or thyroid-related cause. This combination needs blood work to understand what's driving it.
Next Steps
Ask your doctor for a thyroid function test and a basic blood workup along with a gynaecology review for the period change.
Health Tips
Please don't ignore the breathlessness and dizziness, get them checked soon rather than waiting.
