Symptom #2: Muscle Cramps and Pain
Muscle cramps and pain may be symptoms that many patients are not aware that are related to hypothyroidism. Everyone feels weak every now and then, but if you recently started feeling less energetic, weak, and tired then you should check the thyroid hormonal balance, especially if this condition lasts for days or weeks and if it is accompanied by muscle cramps, aches, etc.
Because the low levels of thyroid hormones flip the normal metabolism toward catabolism, muscle cramps and pain will develop because the muscle tissue and other body tissue as well, will start to break down in order to produce the necessary energy for proper functioning.
