Routine Seaweed Capsules For Underactive Thyroid

Underactive Thyroid

Hypothyroidism is when you have an underactive thyroid and they do not produce enough of a specific hormone.

Symptoms of Hypothyroidism

There are several symptoms of Hypothyroidism. However, they may vary depending on the severity of the deficient hormone. Issues tend to develop slowly over a number of years.

Symptoms for Hypothyroidism include:

• Constipation
• Fatigue
• Hoarseness
• Dry skin
• Weight gain
• Muscle weakness
• Puffy face
• Increased sensitivity to cold
• Impaired memory
• Muscle aches, tenderness and stiffness
• Pain, stiffness or swelling in your joints
• Heavier than normal or irregular menstrual periods
• Depression
• Thinning hair
• Slowed heart rate
• Enlarged thyroid gland
• Elevated blood cholesterol level

You may not notice these symptoms early on but over time, if not treated, it can develop into an underperforming Thyroid. Hyperthyroidism usually develops in middle to older age women, but it is not restricted to only them. Anyone can develop Hyperthyroidism, including infants, teens and young adults.

Although it is not common for Infants to have Hyperthyroidism, there are telltale signs that can be noticed.

These can include:

• Yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes is also called jaundice. This usually occurs when an infant’s liver struggles to metabolise a substance called bilirubin. Bilirubin is produced when the body recycles old or damaged red blood cells.
• A protruding and oversized tongue.
• Difficulty breathing
• Hoarse cry. This can sound raspy as when the baby exhales air, the vocal fold does not vibrate like normal.
• Umbilical hernia. This is when part of your intestine bulges through the opening in your abdominal muscles, located close to the navel (belly button).

Causes

When a thyroid stops producing enough hormones, the balance of chemical reactions could be disrupted. There can be various causes for Hypothyroidism. This includes autoimmune disease, radiation therapy, thyroid surgery and other certain medications.
