My list of symptoms are below, all got steadily more difficult after the birth of my DC2.

Puffy pouches under eyes
Diarrhoea and cramping - frequent
Tonsils/lymph nodes swell up and go down - can go away one week and come back the next
Ears ache/ring - often linked to the lymph nodes thing
Flushing, mostly on the cheeks
Pain in right shoulder - constant, nagging, can have days where it's unbearable
Joint pain, most often in elbows, wrists, shoulders, flares up
Pain in upper right chest
Fatigue
Hair loss from scalp/dark hairs on chin like stubble

I will go to GP with this list, one day, when corona isn't quite so prominent.

Why wouldn’t you ring your GP now? Surgeries are still doing phone consultations.

GPs arent busy right now with day to day stuff. Call them. You might be able to order some testing kits online with their guidance?
How old are you and how long is it since you gave birth?

peri menopause? anaemia/low ferritin?

I would be considering underactive thyroid, Fibromyalgia or ME/CFS, until you can see a doctor & get your bloods done you won't get any answers. Just rest as much as you can.
