Hashimoto's Thyroiditis Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
5. Muscle Weakness
Having strong muscles is very important to our overall well-being. It is not only important for people who are active in sports, but also for less active people. Strength allows us to perform our daily tasks with sufficient ease. It also helps the rest of our body, such as our organs, to function as they should.
Hypothyroidism, however, can cause our muscles to become weaker as they are not being fed with the nutrients that will help to keep them strong and healthy. There are numerous other potential causes of this so it is good to get it checked out. The patient should be able to regain full strength if/when the underlying cause has been dealt with.
