Thyroid gland problems common symptoms

Does fatigue drag you down day after day? Do you have brain fog, weight gain, chills,
or hair loss? Or is the opposite true for you: Are you often revved up, sweaty, or
anxious? Your thyroid gland could be to blame. This great regulator of body and mind
sometimes goes haywire, particularly in women. Getting the right treatment is critical
to feel your best and avoid serious health problems.

If you become fat or weak for no reason, have frequent muscle aches, have difficulty
concentrating, anxiety or depression, you may have thyroid problems.
In case you didn't already know, the thyroid gland plays an important role in the
functioning of the body and metabolism. This gland is shaped like a butterfly and is
located at the level of the neck above the collarbone. When there is an imbalance in the
thyroid, you may experience many discomforts. Find out what are the main symptoms
when you have problems with the thyroid gland.
Thyroid disorders are common. In fact, about 12% of people will experience abnormal
thyroid function at some point during their lives.

Women are eight times more likely to develop a thyroid disorder than men. Also,
thyroid problems increase with age and may affect adults differently than children.

At the most basic level, thyroid hormone is responsible for coordinating energy, growth
and metabolism in your body.

Problems can occur when this


hormone's levels are too high or
low.
Hypothyroidism, or low levels of
thyroid hormone, slows your
metabolism and decreases growth or
repair of many parts of the body.

The thyroid gland is important, but neglected


Often it is not aware of the impact of this gland on life until it creates problems. The
thyroid gland is responsible for the production of hormones that regulate the body's
activities.
The most common thyroid dysfunctions are:

 Hyperthyroidism: occurs when the thyroid produces more hormones than


necessary.
 Hypothyroidism: The thyroid does not produce enough hormones.

As for thyroid diseases, I can mention:

 Goiter
 Thyroid cancer
 Thyroid nodules
 Thyroiditis: inflammation of the gland

About 12% of the population suffers from problems of the thyroid gland, and a large
number of people experience a thyroid imbalance at some point in their lives.
Thyroid gland problems - common symptoms
The body sends you various alarm signals permanently, but sometimes you do not take
them into account. It is good to pay attention to the signs that indicate the presence of
an imbalance in the thyroid gland.

Fatigue and sleep disorders


This is one of the main symptoms of a
thyroid gland problem. If you only want to
sleep, need more than 10 hours of rest or
lack of strength and energy, you may be
suffering from hypothyroidism.

If you find it difficult to fall asleep or suffer from anxiety, you may be affected by
hyperthyroidism, a condition that accelerates your heart rate.

Body weight changes


If you have hypothyroidism, it is very
difficult for you to lose weight. On the
other hand, if you can't manage to lose
a ton of weight whatever you do, your
problem may be hyperthyroidism.
Changes in disposition
Emotional and mental changes are
very common among people who
have problems with the thyroid
gland. Hyperthyroidism is linked to
anxiety, panic attacks, difficulty
concentrating and hyperactivity.

In the case of hypothyroidism, depression, sadness and fatigue becomes the daily menu.
This is due to the low level of serotonin. This condition can also cause a lack of
concentration or confusion.

Digestive problems
People with hypothyroidism
often have serious problems with
constipation, as alteration of
hormone production can slow
down the digestive process.

People with hyperthyroidism may suffer from diarrhea or irritable bowel syndrome.

Muscle and joint pain


Thyroid gland problems that lead to
muscle pain
If you feel your muscles numb and in
pain, and your legs and hands are
often numb, you may be experiencing
low thyroid hormone production.
Other symptoms include the following:
 jam
 pains
 inflammation
 Weakness
 Tendonitis

If you are unable to hold a steady thing in your hand or have difficulty climbing stairs or
standing at high heights, your problem may be hyperthyroidism.

Changes in the reproductive


system
Women with hypothyroidism have
longer, more abundant and more
painful periods. They may also
suffer from infertility and hormonal
imbalances such as premenstrual
syndrome. There is a decrease in
libido in both men and women.

Women with hyperthyroidism have shorter and lighter periods. They may also have
fertility problems.

Problems with hair and skin


Thyroid gland problems that lead to hair
loss
If you have dry and brittle hair or you
frequently fall, it may be low thyroid
hormone production. In addition, if you
have dry skin and brittle nails, the diagnosis
may also be hypothyroidism.
If you have hyperthyroidism, the problems you face may be hair loss and sensitive and
delicate skin.

Changes in body temperature


It is possible that people who
have cold hands and feet all the
time or have a body
temperature lower than 37 ° C
may actually suffer from
hypothyroidism.

If, on the other hand, you get very hot or sweating in winter, you may have
hyperthyroidism.

Unusual cholesterol levels


In the case of hypothyroidism, LDL
or HDL cholesterol levels are very
high, even when the patient is on a
diet. In contrast, people with
hyperthyroidism have very low
cholesterol levels.
Changed blood pressure
Thyroid gland problems that influence
blood pressure
Patients with hypothyroidism have a
lower heart rate than they should (with
20 beats per minute less than normal).

Those with hyperthyroidism may notice that the heart beats very quickly or that they
have palpitations.

Goiter
Goiter is a common problem associated with
thyroid gland problems. This enlargement of the
gland can cause swelling in the throat and scab.
This condition can occur in both hyperthyroidism
and hypothyroidism.

Are there people more prone to thyroid problems?


There are three main risk factors that increase the chances of thyroid imbalances:

 History of thyroid gland problems in the family;


 Age and sex (these conditions are more common among women and people over
the age of 40);
 Smoking (cigarettes contain substances that are harmful and toxic to the thyroid
gland).
The Bottom Line
Hypothyroidism, or low thyroid, is a common disorder.
It can cause a variety of symptoms, such as fatigue, weight gain and feeling cold. It can
also result in problems with your hair, skin, muscles, memory or mood.

Importantly, none of these problems are unique to hypothyroidism.


Yet if you are having several of these symptoms or they are new, worsening or severe,
see your doctor to decide if you need to be tested for hypothyroidism.

Fortunately, hypothyroidism is generally treatable with inexpensive medications.


If your thyroid hormone levels are low, a simple treatment could greatly improve your
quality of life.
