Are underactive thyroid symptoms similar to any other disorder?


Are underactive thyroid symptoms similar to any other disorder?

yes i have an underactive thyroid and the symptoms are very similar to depression. ie feeling tired, not sleeping properly low sex drive, low moods etc. if u are worried look on nhs direct website and u can diagnose yourself based on your symptoms or visit your gp. hope u feel better

Please do not try to diagnose yourself. If your thyroid is underactive only blood work will be able to prove this. Underactive thyroid symptoms do mimic other disorders and they each need to be ruled out. Talk to your doctor about your concerns and let him/her do the diagnosing.

It can mimic many condutions such as chronic fatigue, depression, fibromyalgia, bi-polar and many others

The only way to find out if one has an underactive thyroid is to get a first thing in the morning blood test. Most doctors will only do a TSH, but TSH, free t4, free T3, and an antibody test are the best tests to have together.
