Are Fatigue, Hair Loss And Weight Gain Symptoms Of Hypothyroidism?
I was recently diagnosed with hypothyroidism and am taking levethoroxin ? Prior to the diagnosis I was fired from my job...I was very tired & unable to focus or remember things so they let me go. I have a family history of hypothyroidism. My other symptoms were hair loss and weight gain. I have never been fired from a job. I repeatedly told the office manager that I didn t know why I couldn t do my job and apologized many times. Told her this was not like me at all. Could the fatigue, hair loss, weight gain, memory & inability to focus?
Hi. Yes indeed. All of these symptoms are consitent with hypothyroidism. I will suggest getting your thyroid function tests done 2 monthly till stable. Best wishes
