Symptoms of thyroid disorders

Background about the sub hyperthyroidism

Since thyroid hormones regulate metabolism in every cell in the body, lack of these hormones can affect most body actions.

Among adults, there are situations of very easy deprivation, it can hardly be told, to situations of severe shortage, threatening the very life.

Symptoms of thyroid disorders can arise from several factors expressed in two phenomena:

Under an initial activity of the thyroid and sub-secondary activity of the thyroid.

Symptoms to sub hyperthyroidism:

• Obesity

• Dry scaly skin thickened

• Edema

• Fatigue, weakness and lack of energy

• Constipation

• Low blood pressure

• Depression

• Circulation problems

• Sensitivity to cold

• Slow pulse

• Loss of hair splitting

• Anemia

• Lack of concentration

• lack of appetite and yet weight gain

• decrease libido

• Low body temperature

• Rise in blood fats and cholesterol level higher

Sub hyperthyroidism in infants:

When a baby is born with sub hyperthyroidism he should be treated in conventional medicine to not reach a state of backwardness. This is a test done routinely

The standard treatment of thyroid activity is providing a drug called Altrooksin. This drug causes thyroid atrophy thus paralyzing the gland. Naturopathy treatment should start before taking Altrooksin.

There are supplements taking part in production of thyroid hormones.

Physical activity makes provision for thyroid tissue and increases sensitivity to thyroid hormone, so it’s important to combine exercise therapy in sub thyroid activity. Also exercise helps weight loss and raise energy.

Rare symptoms of thyroid disorders

•Harassment in the legs

•Skin changes

•Changes in fingernails and paralysis in some cases.

Other major factors of thyroid activity

  • Sex

Relation to probability of the disease in women with men is 7:1 to 10:1, but the ratio of the probability of eye disease is 1:1.

  • Tension

Appearance of the disease often accompanied by emotional situations typical of a market crisis divorce, death or departure difficulties. Common case in fact violate this disease outbreak is threatening in cases of separation from which the patient depends on him emotionally.

  • Genetics

Identical twins have a 50% probability of disease if one sick sick twin and 9% if the twins are not identical.

  • Left

People lefties were as greater risk of autoimmune disease

Smoking

  • Exposure to mercury cadmium

Reducing risk factors

Stress, smoking, consumption of iodine increased, restlessness. Reducing stress factors is the single most important action the patient should undertake to reach normal gland function. Avoid any factor that can affect the patient emotionally. Rest is extremely important, including full noon and night’s sleep.

Symptoms of thyroid problems

Sub activity of the thyroid – what is that?

Sub activity of the thyroid is low activity of a gland of Thyroid that is an endocrine gland situated in the anterior cervical side, straight under the box of the sound. Beyond that, the gland secretes over 100 enzymes responsible for great activities of all cells in the body. Intensified portion of the hormones liable to amplify the cellular metabolism until 100% over the norm, while if the hormones are not secreted, the metabolism descends to 40%. In the most cases of sub activity of the thyroid it is because of descent in functioning.

Thyroid function

Thyroid gland is part of an extensive system, which the major systems are the hypothalamus, pituitary (pituitary gland), kidney, and liver. Injury in each of these systems may lead to thyroid activity.

What disrupts thyroid activity?

Other things that can disrupt thyroid activity are lack of iodine in the diet, and then the gland can’t produce T4. In this situation, the gland usually swells a condition common in the developing world. Stress can also cause problems: If you are a long time in a state of continuous tension and exhaustion, there will not be enough cortisol in the kidneys and liver to make the T4 to T3 even if the gland produces enough T4.

Who has it?

Today it is estimated that about 13 million Americans suffer from thyroid disorder, but over half of them are not diagnosed, because many people interpret these signs to aging phenomena. The elderly more prone to disease, but it may evolve for everyone – from infancy. Thyroid testing is one of the first tests carried out by after birth, since sub thyroid activity in a newborn is a life-threatening situation.

I have early stages of hypothyroidism… I also have chronic daily headaches that we think it’s related to the thyroid levels- but there are many other reason’s for my headaches so it’s complicated. Anyways does anyone else have this combination of problems (hypothyroidism and headaches) AND does taking the thyroid medicine help the headaches???

I’m looking for natural cures or simple things I can do in my life to fight Hypothyroidism. Any ideas or suggestions? Do you have this? Had this? Thanks!

I have hypothyroidism, and as a result have trouble upon trouble losing weight. I’m beginning to think it’s a no win situation and it’s very frustrating. Is there a meal plan that can help?

I said MEAL PLAN not pill, fake diet fad, or advertisement, thank you!

When I eat a little sugar (like a mini frosted cupcake) it causes a huge sugar crash, like I need to nap. Is this a telltale sign of anything? I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism with my second son but it went away after my pregnancy… 8 years ago.
Oprah was talking about hypothyroidism not too long ago and I have many signs… just wondering if the sugar crash bit rings any bells with anyone. Thanks in advance!

I got thyroid cancer 4 years ago, went through the whole sugery removal, radiation, the works. Now I"m fine. My TSH level is fine. I take hormone replacments pills everyday. Anyone who is hypothyroidism knows losing weight feels like trying to get into the olympics. Now, everytime I go to my doctor to ask what I can do to lose weight, he give me BS answers…..join and gym, eat less, eat healthier. Done all the that. Within those 4 years, I still work out on a regular basis, been eating super healthy, still do. I don’t lose a pound. I"m not overweight, but I would like to shed some pounds. It’s embrassing to be working out so much, and not have anything to show for it. So if theirs any sugestion or similar stories, please share.
Also, I can’t eat breakfast, which is the most important meal. Because My medication requires to be taken on an empty stomach. So I must take it first thing in the morning. And I have to wait an hour to eat, we can’t eat in school. I have the thyroid diet book, didn’t help too much. and when I say I eat healthy, i’m not just talking about just no sweets. it’s not meat other than fish, no chips, no soda. it’s as healthy as it can get. i herad about putting more fiber into your diet helps? I live on broccoli… literally. it’s my favorite food so that doesn’t work. cutting calories doesn’t work. working out everyday isn’t going well…low carb doesn’t work…
also my goal isn’t crazy… if i eve see myself drop 5-10 pounds i’ll jump for joy. it doesn’t have to even be a ..lose X amt of pounds in 2 seconds… I have all the time in the world.. I just really need some advice

i’m only eighteen and no i’m not trying to get pregnant right now but i do want kids in the far away future and i have hypothyroidism. a nurse told me the other day that it can decrease the chances becoming pregnant. is this true?

i really don’t need people telling me i’m too young to have kids or other rude stuff because as i’ve already said i want kids IN THE FUTURE.

thanks in advance.

I just found out I have hypothyroidism and was prescribed Levothyroxine for this, and was wondering if it will give me energy, and if I will lose weight from fixing this? Also, i have high cholestoral and was prescribed Lipitor for this,? Would any of these problems be a symptom of something else?

I am 26 and I am taking synthroid for hypothyroidism anyone know anything about breakthrough bleeding and when it stops…45 days now and Im starting to lose my mind…any advice?
thank you all so much!
Im not on birth control pills maybe it would help?

I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend the 2nd. On the night of the 16th ihad very light spotting. Could have been implanation. I took a hpt 2 days ago and this am-both false. I’m irregular but usually start by the 20th.. I’ve had nausea, funny taste in my mouth and light cramping. I also have hypothyroidism, which I take synthroid for, so I don’t kno if it would cause be to have a false negative or did I test too early? Any advice will help. THANKS!

I have all of the symptoms of hypothyroidism..I am just not overweight. I was chubby up until the time I was 17 when I started a strict workout and diet schedule. I still gain weight relatively easily but I am much better at managing it now. Is it possible that I do have a thyroid problem and it just isn’t extreme? All advice is appreciated!

Have been prescribed Co-dydramol but have an underactive thyroid. It says in the leaflet to reduce the dosage if one has hypothyroidism. Would be very interested as to the effects, to decide whether to take the pills or not.

Any suggestions on how to lose weight and belly fat for someone that has Hypothyroidism?

I have Hypothyroidism and sleeping problems, I was wondering if they might be connected.
I think I might have had what ‘nursekuba’ described before, but as far as sleeping problems I mean trouble falling asleep. I have no trouble staying asleep once I am asleep, but I just can’t seem to turn my brain off and fall asleep.

I have type 1 diabetes and have been diagnosed with hypothyroidism and am going through testing for lups, i have known several other women with type 1 & 2 diabetes having lupus. is this a common thing? something to somewhat expect?

I have been experiencing hair loss, excessive sweating, severe depression, severe intolerance of hot climates/surroundings, frequent nausea, and stomach pains since I was seventeen. The year before, I starved myself for a month in order to lose some weight. I have a very prevelent family history of thyroid disorder. I think, perhaps I triggered this with the shock to my metabolism that my anorexia caused. I have been eating regularly since I was 19, but the symptoms persist. What should I do? I am tired of being uncomfortable all of the time, and having thinning hair in parts because of my body’s problem…I’m only 19! My libido is one eighth of what it used to be, and my cognitive abilities aren’t what they once were…I did a bit of research and saw that all of my symptoms lined up with hypothyroidism, and I wish to know where to look or what to eat, or what I can do to change my body back…

Before I started treatment I had all of these symptoms especially the last one and I could not figure out for the life of me why. Then I found out dimensia is caused by untreated hypothyroidism. I still have all symptoms except for the last one now, but I don’t throw things. I blow up on the littlest things and because I’ve already dug a hole for myself and am completely angry at myself and the world, am persistent on making everything worse and am completely out of control. Afraid to bring this up to my doctor. Afraid he’ll just think I’m a nut who reads into things too much…..

People who have dementia often experience:

Confusion and memory loss.
Inability to complete everyday tasks.
Loss of self-control leading to unexpected behavior, such as throwing things, yelling at other people, or being suspicious of others.
Impaired judgment and reduced ability to make decisions and learn new things.
An eventual loss of control over physical functions, such as urination.

Yeah, the question pretty much sums it up. I have hypothyroidism and saw a piece on the news about how Roger Ebert had thyroid cancer and it freaked me out, so I thought I’d ask. Thanks!

A friend of mine is planning to try this, and because it’s Ephedra free she thinks it’s safe? What do some of you think? Also, she does not have hypothyroidism, but does have thyroid antibodies and occasional fluctuations with her TSH results(but nothing major), so she may eventually develop it. The label on this product says if you have thyroid disease not to use it. Wouldn’t this also apply to her, or could it make things worse? What can she use to boost her energy and burn fat without worsening her health? I’m thinking there is nothing other than patience and hard work.
Here is a breakdown of the product:

I’m thinking even if she loses the weight, the moment she stops taking the product, she’ll gain back more.

I’ve asked ALOT of questions concerning this as I’m 2 months pg with hypothyroidism. (Just found out two days ago) I’m not opposed to taking the medication, I’m just wondering if anyone has had a child born with defects linked to the medication.

In specific I would like to ask for people with hypothyroidism. Did you still have difficulties, even when your thyroid was regulated during pregnancy?
Did you find your pregnancy as ‘harder’ due to it?

I have a dobe who is taking hormone medication for hypothyroidism. Recently, I found a small bump on her abdomen near her back leg. I have a vet appointment on Friday, but meanwhile, I’ve been doing some research on what it might be. Hopefully, it’s just a benign fat lump, but does anyone if there’s a connection between her thyroid problem and this new bump? Will it go away on it’s own or will it always be there?

I don’t have any health insurance due to loss of my job. Therefore, I cannot afford the fee for my annual appointment with the MD who has treated my hypothyroidism for years. He is a specialist and actually doesn’t even accept insurance. I used to pay his very high fees out of pocket because I could afford to do so and it was worth it. My annual prescription for thyroid medication will run out in one month. Is there any other type of less expensive health care provider that can write/renew the same prescription that I’ve had for several years after I’ve had the annual blood work done?

My son has been diagnosed with HSP and, as a result, kidney disease. It is believed that some autoimmune disorder is the cause. He takes prednisone and still suffers illness from coughing and sinus congestion. I have hypothyroidism and was wondering if this might be the cause for his problems as well. His thyroid tests came back on the low side of normal range which mine did as well. They treated me anyway. Please help.
Please note that I do not feel that my hypothyroidism is like a virus attacking his body. I want to know if he might have hypothyroidism. I know that my condition is not contagious.
