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 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.

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 have thyroid disease but on tests of late it says its working fine and i haven’t taken the medicine for a while and thinking about it when i stopped taking my thyroid medicine i stopped having periods and i am not having sexual relations with anyone so can the thyroid be affecting my period or is it something else?

they seem to be fairly easily dismissed by doctors, but they keep piling on (symptoms). Has anyone had trouble finding a doctor to treat their thyroid problem? I know thyroid disease can sometimes be hard to diagnose, just wondering if anyone out there has had a similar and frustrating experience. Also, does anyone know if a high ANA titre is linked to thyrioid disease?

I have had thyroid symptoms for a long time, with always normal labs. Doesn’t make sense. Past couple years ultrasound every 6 mos. for thyroid swelling. Multi nodular goiter. Last week u/s showed one nodule getting larger. Have to have fine needle biopsy. I am so scared, right here at Christmas to have to go through this. Have feeling of choking, tightness in throat, lots of congestion in throat, hoarseness at times, fatigue, nervousness, palpitations etc. NORMAL LABS..Anyone have any suggestions? Mother had thyroid removed 80 yrs ago lots of thyroid disease in family. No thyroid cancer, though. I’m scared anyone have this problem????I do have cervical disc ruptures that I’m suppose to have surgery for, could that be causing any of my symptoms???Thanks so much for anyone who can help!!!

Do you have to be born with a thyroid disease or is it something that you can develop later on, I was tested for a thyroid when my mother was diagnosed and the test said that I was fine but lately my neck and tonsils have became swollen just like hers and I have unexplained weight gain (eating healthier than ever) so im just wondering if i could have developed one?

What type of doctor treats a thyroid disease? ENT?

I have had multinodular thyroid disease for many years. My thyroid gland works perfectly, but I have been monitored by various endocrinologists for years. I take Synthroid to get the nodules in check. However, in January, my tests (an ultrasound and a nuclear medicine scan) showed I now had 6 large fluid filled cold nodules. The Dr assured me they are benign. My Dr. increased my thyroid dosage for 6 months to see if there would be any improvement. I just had another ultrasound prior to my doctor’s appt next week & now I have 30-40 nodules. I have some difficulty swallowing, especially at night if I lay on my back, and my neck sometimes hurts. I am I know that the medical people are reluctant to remove a thyroid gland that works, but I am beginning to feel that maybe it is time for the surgery. I am 54 and in good health otherwise. Has anyone else had this situation? Do you think I should discuss this with the endocrinologist and maybe get a 2nd opinion?

those who are experiencing thyroid disease please give me some details about taking medicine (how long do you take?) and taking the radioactive iodine to treat thyroid problem. thanks

I am a 20 year old female who was diagnosed with Grave’s disease 4 years ago. My gynecologist told me I was not eligible for hormonal birth control because of my thyroid disease. I plan on asking my endocrinologist my next appointment. Could my endo overrule my gyno in this situation?

My husband had 2 docs tell him that he had all the symtoms of thryoid disease before they ran the blood test and when both test came back they were normal. He has heard that there is another test that can be done with a dye as an outpatient, does anyone know what they are talking about? And is there any other problem that mimics thyroid disease?

I have thyroid disease and I am taking synthroid for it. If I start to get hot I will break out into a sweat. It is like a hot flash. I don’t have night sweats so I know I am over the menopause thing. Does anyone out there do the same thing that has thyroid disease? This is very bothersome to me… a real drag!

My doc said that my TSH level is low, so I need to get more comprehensive test for thyroid disease. Will I always need to take meds?

If my tests come back negative, what can I do to make sure I don’t get it?

I am experiencing symptoms of both sides of thyroid disease. Is this possible that it is a thyroid problem or would it be more of a hormonal problem?

On a lot of antihistamine and sinus medications it says to consult your doctor if you have thyroid disease. What is the reason for this? I have hypothyroid and a bad cold so I need to take something so I can sleep. I know this is a question I should ask my doctor (and I intend to when I see her on Monday) but is it dangerous for me to take sinus medication?

I have hypothyroidism and want to take some sinus medication. It says don’t take if you have thyroid disease.

about a year ago i was diagnosed with graves disease, which is a thyroid disease, and i was treated for it about 6 months ago by having my thyroid killed off with a radioactive iodine pill, and now i’ve been taking thyroid hormone replacement medication for about 6 months now. i was wondering what kind of effect thyroid diseases have on your weight. in about 2 years, i’ve gained 20 lbs (my lifestyle and diet have changed slightly, but not much), and i’ve been dieting and exersicing for 5 months now, but have only managed to lose 10 lbs. i lost that 10 lbs in the first 3 months, and since then, i havent lost any weight. i was wondering if this was due in part to my thyroid disease. please let me know what you think!!! i need some advice about trying to loose weight while still having a thyroid (metabolism) disease.
sorry inspiredbeme, but i have been dieting and exersizing for 4 months now, and i have only lost 3 lbs. i was 118 two years ago, and now i’m 140. i have been changing my diet and i exersize 1 hour a day, and i still havent seen any results. i just want to know if it’s because of my thyroid that i’m having such a hard time. and you’re only 118! what do you have to worry about?!
*oops, sorry, 113!
