The thyroid is a butterfly - shaped gland on the front of the neck, which produces hormones that control almost all the body's metabolic activity.
When hormone levels are very low or high, you may experience a number of symptoms that directly affect the quality of your life.
Increase or drastic weight loss:
An inexplicable change in weight is one of the most common signs of thyroid disorder. Weight gain may signal lower levels of thyroid hormones, a condition called hypothyroidism.
On the other hand, if the thyroid produces more hormones than the body needs, you may lose weight unexpectedly. This situation is also known as hypertiroidism. Hypyothyroidism is more common in humans.
Hair loss:
Hair loss is another sign of the imbalance of thyroid hormones. Both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism can cause hair loss. In many cases, hair begins to grow as soon as the disease is treated.
Frequently heartbeat:
Thyroid hormones affect almost every organ in the body and can affect heart rate. Those with hypothyroidism have slower heart rate than usual. While hypothyroidism can cause rapid heart rate. It can also cause increased blood pressure and a feeling that the heart is coming out of the country.
