10 Enlarged Thyroid Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #2: Fatigue
Unexplained tiredness, even when you have taken ample rest, can easily be due to functional problems with your thyroid. Due to its central role in determining the rate of metabolism in the body, decreased performance of the thyroid, and hence lowered hormone levels, can lead to less energy being produced for body functions.
As a result, one gets sluggish in performing their activities and are easily fatigued. The unusual feeling of tiredness can also be explained by the fact that thyroid hormones facilitate the body’s use of glucose, the major energy source, by enhancing the work of insulin hormone, which promotes the entry of glucose into cells.
