What Are The Symptoms Of Hyperthyroidism And Hypothyroidism?
Question: Hi Doc. Can you tell me if these are symptoms related to thyroid (hypo or hyper) ?
Brief Answer:
Thyroid
Detailed Answer:
Some people with hyperthyroidism have no symptoms. When they do occur, symptoms can include:
●Anxiety, irritability, or trouble sleeping
●Weakness (especially in the arms and thighs, which can make it hard to lift heavy things or climb stairs)
●Trembling
●Sweating a lot and having trouble dealing with hot weather
●Fast or uneven heartbeats
●Feeling tired
●Weight loss even when you are eating normally
●Frequent bowel movements
Some people with hypothyroidism have no symptoms. But most people feel tired. That can make the condition hard to diagnose, because a lot of conditions can make you tired.
Other symptoms of hypothyroidism include:
●Lack of energy
●Getting cold easily
●Developing coarse or thin hair
●Getting constipated (having too few bowel movements)
If it is not treated, hypothyroidism can also weaken and slow your heart. This can make you feel out of breath or tired when you exercise and cause swelling (fluid buildup) in your ankles. Untreated hypothyroidism can also increase your blood pressure and raise your cholesterol—both of which increase the risk of heart trouble.
