Preguntas comunes
What thyroid symptoms should I watch for?
Common signs include unexplained fatigue, weight gain or loss, sensitivity to cold or heat, dry skin, hair thinning, brain fog, mood changes, and digestive issues. If you experience several of these persistently, ask your doctor for thyroid function tests.
Can thyroid problems cause weight gain?
Yes. An underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) slows metabolism, which can cause weight gain of 5-15 pounds, water retention, and difficulty losing weight even with diet and exercise. Proper thyroid medication can restore normal metabolism.
When should I get my thyroid tested?
Get tested if you have persistent fatigue, unexplained weight changes, hair loss, cold sensitivity, or mood changes. Women over 35, people with a family history of thyroid disease, and those with autoimmune conditions should get screened regularly.
What is the difference between hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism?
Hypothyroidism means your thyroid produces too little hormone, causing fatigue, weight gain, cold sensitivity, and brain fog. Hyperthyroidism means it produces too much, causing anxiety, weight loss, heat sensitivity, and rapid heartbeat. Both require medical treatment.
