1. Feeling exhausted
Are you feeling way too tired lately? Maybe your body is actually trying to tell you something. Fatigue is probably one of the most overlooked symptoms of hypothyroidism. But how can tiredness be a symptom of hypothyroidism? Well… since this butterfly-shaped gland is responsible for controlling energy, it can put you to bed in an instant.
For instance, did you know that animals that hibernate actually experience low levels of thyroid hormone? While those who have high levels of this thyroid hormone are actually the opposite, always jittery and restless, those dealing with low levels are always sluggish and tired.
About 50 percent of Americans who have hypothyroidism are feeling tired all the time. So, wake up, sleepyhead! It’s time to go to your doctor’s office.
