Is there a connection between thyroid disorders and obesity? |
Is there a connection between thyroid disorders and obesity? here is some information about myself, plus some symptoms in case anyone coming upon your question may be interested; i have low thyroid. if you have low thyroid...here's a great question to answer: can you see the floor of your house? that was what was asked of me at one point, and to my amazement, the answer was no! anyway, the signs are:fatigue and lack of energy. Women suffering from underactive thyroid experience heavier menstrual periods. Sluggishness and forgetfulness are symptoms of underactive thyroid problem. Other symptoms of this thyroid disorder are dry skin and hair and constipation. if you have high thyroid, or an overactive one, the signs are:increased body metabolism. This is followed by weight loss and excessive warmth and sweating. Persons suffering from overactive thyroid experience trembling hands, irritability and rapid heartbeat or palpitations. Women with overactive thyroid or hyperthyroidism may experience shorter or lighter menstrual periods. I take medication, and sadly will have to take 1 pill everyday for the rest of my life. there's a blood check that they will do to see if you have low or high. i hope i've helped you!! Source(s): a good site to see all about thyroid, including high & low, as well as cancers, etc.: http://www.targetwoman.com/articles/thyr... and, here's some more sites. look them all over, see which one intersts you most. write down what symptoms you have, and take it to your doctor. http://www.bioslim.com/definitions/thyro... http://www.endocrinologist.com/thyroid.h... this is a link to several different links about thyroid. http://www.mysuresearch.com/feed/search....
