Unhappy Odd breathing, no reaction, lethargic

Hello, i’ve had my dwarf hamster for a couple months.

Typically she is very fast and reactive towards a lot of sound, but super playful.
I recently moved her to a quieter area, but it is closer to a window and radiator that turns on and off throughout the day.

The past two days, she has been WAY slower and almost lethargic. She sits in a tube connection and practically smothers herself in it.
She is pooping and peeing a lot more and the smell is pungent despite cleaning the plastic parts regularly. She also has a little diarrhea but i’ve been giving her more veggies recently.

Please if any of this is concerning please comment. It could be the location closer to the radiator?

**I attached a picture, she smothers herself more than that and DEEPLY breathes slowly, then fast, and slowly shuts her eyes. I honestly can tell if she’s just relaxing but she never does that especially when i was making noise to see if she would react

Thank you a lot !!

She looks quite sick unfortunately. I'm not sure what it could be but she should see a vet. Hopefully they'll be able to help.

You're not meant to keep hamsters near radiators or windows. Because of temperature changes and bright light. I would move the cage and visit the vet for a check up.
