Why Am I So Tired?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
5. Underactive Thyroid
The thyroid gland, which is located in the neck, is responsible for producing and secreting the thyroxine hormone. This hormone helps in regulating our metabolism and the more of it we have, the more energetic we feel.
On the flip side, not having enough of it will make us feel tired. The thyroid gland is prone to developing problems, and this can include not producing enough of the thyroxine hormone. In addition to making you feel tired, the condition will also cause other symptoms such as aching muscles, dry skin, and putting on weight. It is more likely to occur as you get older, and it is more likely to affect women than men.
