4. Hypothyroidism Symptoms
Symptoms of hypothyroidism typically include the patient feeling fatigued through much of the day. This will be regardless of their diet, and how much rest they get. Another fairly common symptom of the condition is weight gain as the patient’s metabolism slows down.
The patient can also become less tolerant to the cold and reluctant to leave the home in cold climates. The patient can also develop a hoarser voice, and their hair can become coarser and dryer than usual. Women can find that their periods are heavier and more frequent than usual.
