Do You Know The Signs And Symptoms Of Hypothyroidism?

Do you know the
Signs and Symptoms of Hypothyroidism?

 If you’re demonstrating more than a few of the following signs and
symptoms of Hypothyroidism and have not been diagnosed with this disease,
you should consult with your medical practitioner right away. Hypothyroidism is
the medical term for an underactive thyroid gland and is sadly one of the most undiagnosed diseases.

Peculiarly, there are no defining signs and symptoms of
Hypothyroidism that are experienced by everyone. So you may find  you have every symptom or just a few. Also, you will see
signs and symptoms on this list that can be associated with different
diseases as well, such as Fibromyalgia.

Here are common symptoms you might experience when thyroid hormone
levels get to low: unexpected weight gain, feeling cold most of the
time, skin and hair are drier, less stamina and you may get tired easier, you
have started to get constipated more often, you forget things easily and
you might feel some level of depression.
