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 was born withtout a thyroid gland and would like to start taking a multi vitamin, however when I tried Centrum it made me feel nauseated all of the time. Any other suggestions?

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 just moved to the states 4 months ago and am looking for a health care insurance now. My job offers one, but is way too expensive with 60 dollars a week. I am looking for something cheap and effective since I need prescription drugs such as birth control,thyroid gland and kidney medicine. I need a low cost plan for single,27. No dental really needed. Any idea which one would be good to look at for me?I reside in Jax Florida.

not sure if that’s an excuse to not exercise and eat right…
i don’t have thyroid, but occasionally i will come across a female who claims they have it and uses that as an excuse to get bigger and bigger and bigger (just trying to understand)

I SWEAR that I have a thyroid problem. My Ob/Gyn did a blood test and referred me to my doctor. She said that the # was abnormal. Everytime that my doctor checks it he says that it is normal. Last time it was 3.5. Is that normal? I have the following symptoms:
Cold hands and feet
A tendency to feel the cold
Depression
Tiredness especially in the morning
Headache
Constipation
Swollen eyelids especially in the morning
Loss of hair
Dry skin

The dry skin is particularly bothersome and I hate the hair loss. I am ALWAYS tired and seem to gain weight no matter what I do. How do I make my doctor listen to me? Should I see an endocrinologist even though my doc thinks that there is no problem? He has no explanation for my symptoms and tells me simply that my thyroid was normal at 3.5.

Ok.

When I was first diagnoised with thyroid problems, I was diagnoised with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis (hypothryoidism).

I have symptoms of it: dry skin, brittle nails, I’m constantly tired, I have memory problems, a large goiter, and I’ve always had weight problems.

However- I also have symptoms of hyperthyroidism.
Symptoms I have: I’m nervous, my hands shake, I sweat a lot, I’ve got a 50% chance of running to the bathroom after eating, my hair isn’t exactly what I would call fine, but it is soft, and it falls out.

So is it normal to have symptoms of both? Thank you.

I had hyperthyroidism about 6 years ago I recieved a full thyroidectomy which means the removal of my thyroid gland. Every since i have had trouble growing my hair and keeping it healthy. I was wondering if anyone has experienced a similar situation and maybe had some suggestions for me. I would appreciate any ideas. Thanks.

anyone know if the Achalasia disease has anything to do or is connected at all with the thyroid? I believe i have Achalasia but i’m also experiencing extreme changes in my body temperature such as feeling cold when its quite hot and burning up at night when i sleep.

I have been suffering from a hypothyroid condition for over two years and am on medication. Has anyone been able to stop taking their thyroid medication by eating certain foods? I have tried iodine supplements, thyroid supplements, and coconut oil, but I am still on the medication. I would really like to use food or vitamins instead.

Several years ago I did a full spectrum of blood tests. I remember they tested glucose, proteins, cholesterol, thyroid and related hormones etc… but what else usually goes into a battery of blood tests related to general health?

I suffer from depression and social anxiety and recently my therapist suggested that I have my thyroid checked. Why would that be?

My mom is a doctor and she suspects i might have a thyroid gland disorder. But with school and other things going on, we still haven’t had the chance to go to the hospital and get tested. So, im just wondering whether im just fat (altough i don’t know why since i exercise a lot and don’t really eat that much) or is it possible that the weight gain isn’t my fault and could be an effect of the thyroid gland disorder? :( ( Plz help…

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

My lovely gf is often aggrivated by her mother and this has caused a psychological problem that has lead to her having a thyroid infection. The GP has noted that it is due to tension caused by frustration and anger. How can I help her change her diet and give her practices that will encourage a calmer mind (mental health concerns). I have considered Yoga and some Buddhist meditation for her any other ideas? Thanks guys.

I went to the doctor and told her that my neck sometimes got a bit swollen. She checked it out and at first glance she said I might have a thyroid problem and possibly a goiter. I took the blood test and everything came back normal. I was wondering what were some of the symptoms of someone who has had it. Could it be that there is something wrong but not noticable yet? Some of the things that I have been experiencing is persistant nausea, breathing problem which is not caused by asthma, and some more than usual hair loss. Is this something that could be related? Any information would help. Thanks.

I have a thyroid problem in which the doctor told me that my thyroid wasnt functioning at all. I am only 20 years old and I feel weak all the time. They put me on synthroid and said that it should stabalize it or something to actually make it function properly. They said my thyroid should be a .4 and mine was a 30. I had blood work done a week ago and they said that the medicine had actually not worked and they want me to double the dosage. Someone told me that I should be on a different kind of medicine for it because it isnt functioning at all. I am kinda dumb when it comes to this subject, I know nothing about it or what can happen to me. If anyone has any information about this please let me know.

I’ve been seriously working out ( cardio 3-4x week, weights 3x week) for the past 16 weeks. I’ve been watching what I eat, cutting out sugar and adding veggies. However I’ve only lost 1/2lb!!! I’ve lost 4 1/4 inches which is good but I expected much better results. I have been extra tired and felt "off" for awhile. Friends think the lack of weight loss is my thyroid. Could that be it or am I doing something wrong?

I have a thyroid disease that boosts my metabolism and makes me gain weight quickly, is there any way that I can stop it without taking pills(not enough money)?
Sorry, accident. I meant that it lowers my metabolism.

I am a 23 year old female, I have quite a large goiter (enlarged thyroid gland) and I am worried that it may be cancerous. Please help if you can, any information would be truly useful and most appreciated.

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!

I’m not asking for the antidepressant run through that talks about a chemical imbalance in the brain, but what are some non-psychological disorders/illnesses that would cause depression and panic attacks? As in, what are some alternative diagnosis? eg. thyroid problems
