7 Obvious Signs That It is Time To Schedule An Appointment And Get Your Thyroid Checked! Thyroid disorders and complications are more common than you realise, affecting millions of people every year. It's also a very common hereditary issue, passed down from generation to generation. 1. Fluctuating weight Thyroid controls your metabolism, so if there's a problem with your thyroid, it's obviously going to affect your weight. People with hyperactive thyroid tend to lose weight and people with hypoactive thyroids experience weight gain. But there are many bodily factors that influence weight; thyroid is just one of them. 2. Hair loss Hair thinning or hair loss is the other major sign that you might be suffering from thyroid problems. A hyperactive and even hypoactive thyroid can affect your hair growth or loss. The common phenomenon is that the thinning of hair is quite uniform in most cases but can be different for everyone. 3. Fluctuation in energy levels If you feel lethargic and drained out quite often it certainly not a good sign. It seriously doesn't matter how much you sleep or take rest, blame it on your hypoactive thyroid. In this condition staying active can be a serious struggle and even normal everyday task seem too much. But if you have hyperactive thyroid then you can be a little hyper, jittery and even fidgety. 4. Change in appetite If you've got an under-active thyroid, your energy levels can drop considerably, so you need to consume fewer calories to function. Your appetite goes down and you might eat less. Paradoxically, since your body is converting fewer calories into energy, you can actually gain weight. At the opposite end of the spectrum, a hyperactive thyroid can increase your metabolism, leading to abrupt weight loss. 5. Menstrual Problems Irregular periods can also be the sign that you are suffering from thyroid. If you notice your periods are very long or short, heavy or light or extremely irregular then it's time for you to consult your doctor or get your thyroid checked. 6. Feeling too hot or too cold If your body is producing too much thyroid hormone, your temperature can rise, leaving you feeling frequently warm. Similarly, an under-active thyroid can make you feel colder. It can often take just a small change in the hormones produced to have a major impact. 7. Muscle aches and pains If you often feel muscle weakness, tenderness, stiffness and swelling quite often, it can be the sign of Hypothyroidism. It is advisable to immediately contact your doctor in such condition and start the medication as soon as possible.
