10 Underactive Thyroid Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #3: Fatigue
One of the thyroid gland’s main functions is to create hormones that tell the metabolism to get to work. The metabolism is the process of turning our food into energy, so the higher the metabolism, the more energetic we are. It also follows that somebody with a slower metabolism will be feeling less energetic.
The latter is what happens in cases of an underactive thyroid. That patient will feel as though they have no energy, regardless of how much food and rest they might have had. There are numerous reasons why you might be feeling fatigued for no apparent reason, and it is something that you should get checked out.
