If it malfunctions, it can result in symptoms that might indicate a thyroid problem. Here Are 7 signs To Be Mindful That You May Have Thyroid Problems Unexplained Changes in Weight When the thyroid is underactive (hypothyroidism), it slows down metabolism, leading to weight gain. Conversely, an overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism) causes weight loss. If you observe fluctuations in your weight without a reason, it’s advisable to seek advice from a healthcare professional. Fatigue and Weakness Persistent fatigue and weakness despite sleep could indicate thyroid dysfunction. Thyroid hormones help produce energy; when their levels are imbalanced, they can result in fatigue and weakness. If you struggle with exhaustion throughout the day after resting at night, consider having your thyroid function evaluated. Changes in Mood and Cognitive Function Thyroid issues can also affect well-being, leading to mood swings, anxiety, or depression. Additionally, you may encounter difficulties concentrating or experience brain fog and memory problems. If these cognitive shifts go unchecked, they can impact how you live and handle tasks efficiently. Have you noticed any changes in your mood or mental state lately? It might be an idea to have your thyroid checked out. Changes in Hair and Skin Condition Your skin and hair condition can offer insights into your thyroid functioning.
