Hypothyroid Symptoms
There are many hypothyroid symptoms and some are more common than others. The more common hypothyroid symptoms are fatigue, which can be chronic or non chronic, but can cause one to be tired and weak feeling — which is another one of the most common hypothyroid symptoms. Weakness goes along with fatigue, but doesn’t necessarily have to be associated with it. One can be completely awake feeling and still experience weakness, which is one of the more unfortunate hypothyroid symptoms.
Another hypothyroid symptom is an increase in weight (weight gain), and/or having a very difficult time losing weight. This is mainly because the thyroid plays a major role in the body’s metabolism. Dry and coarse hair are other hypothyroid symptoms that are very common among people with an under active thyroid gland.
Hair loss is another very unfortunate but common hypothyroid symptom that effects both men and women of different age groups. People that suffer from hypothyroid symptoms may also experience frequent cramps in their muscles and muscle aches.
Some people, but not as many as the above mentioned hypothyroid symptoms, experience dry, rough and pale skin as a result of their thyroid gland not producing enough thyroid hormone. Others have a very hard time being in a cold environment; an unusually hard time at that. It’s comparable to those that are oversensitive to light for some reason — that is how someone who is experiencing this particular hypothyroid symptom would feel about cold temperatures.
Depression, irritability, constipation, abnormal menstrual periods, memory loss and a decreased sex drive are also ALL hypothyroid symptoms that occur commonly and all happen to be quite unfortunate.
However, there is a light at the end of the tunnel for most people suffering from hypothyroid symptoms. There are natural treatments, remedies, herbs, medicines, supplements, etc. out there that are all very helpful in promoting optimum thyroid health.
