Hello,
The symptoms you reported are suggestive for underactive thyroid or hypothyroidism.
As the thyroid hormones are responsible for a normal metabolism, the under production will cause a slow in metabolism rate.
Except of weight gain and feeling lethargic, other common symptoms of hypothyroidism are: constipation, hair fall, dry skin, low heart rate, heat intolerance ect.
You should confirm it by checking : TSH,Ft4 and FT3 level.
For a personalised comprehensive evaluation, treatment recommendations, or individual therapy, ask me at HealthCareMagic at this private link:
