You’re always tired
Tiredness, constant fatigue, sleepiness, and lack of energy are problems associated with many conditions, but they’re strongly linked with hypothyroidism. When it comes down to it, too little thyroid hormone flowing through your blood means your cells aren’t getting that “get going” signal, leading you to feel sluggish.
You forget things
You know you had something to do today, but you just can’t remember what it is. Sure, there’s sleep deprivation, stress, and aging to blame, but your overall cognitive functioning takes a hit when your thyroid is out of whack. Too little thyroid hormone may cause forgetfulness and poor memory. Because the hormone deficiency slows everything down, neurological functions will also take a toll after some time.
