Possible hypothyroidism

Hi there, my symptoms really properly started affecting me a month or two ago. Firstly I'm a 20 year old male. My symptoms started of as constantly feeling dizzy and having abdominal pains. As time has went on I've started having constant body aches right the way through in my back too. I get really random pains in my hands and feet also. I also have quite a bit of itching as well as headaches and the most recent of which has actually started having an impact on me at work is that I keep forgetting things. I work in a restaurant and customers drinks that I have remembered for years I am taking longer if not forgetting what their drinks were. I basically feel like I'm having brain fog. I have also in the past couple months put on 5 pounds, which as a really skinny boy who has always been 9 stone is obvisouly well documented. I'm going in to have bloods retaken on Tuesday but that was because my potassium was 0.1 over the general norm but when they took my blood they had trouble getting the blood and I also bled quite a bit after it so they said this could be the reason for that. Anyway I'm going to go in quickly on Monday to see my doctor so I can ask him if they can just to a full blood check up and tell him all the symptoms that have been increasingly arising lately. Every day is hard I hate waiting for tests and I also hate feeling like this I just don't feel like a regular 20 year old boy. Do people think this could be a thyroid problem?
