What is the thyroid? The thyroid\ncan be found in the front of your neck just below the Adam’s apple and is a\nsmall butterfly shaped gland where hormones are produced and released into the\nbloodstream. The thyroid hormones are very important as they control the rate\nat which the body uses and stores energy from the food we eat (the metabolic\nrate). What causes thyroid problems? Thyroid problems can result from either\nof the following causes: Overactive thyroid If the thyroid is overactive it\nproduces too much T3 and T4, this condition is known as hyperthyroidism or\nthyrotoxicosis. Underactive thyroid If the thyroid is underactive it doesn’t\nproduce enough T3 or T4, this condition is known as hypothyroidism (‘hypo’\nmeans under). An underactive thyroid is the most common thyroid problem and is\nmore common in women and people over the age of 60, though the condition can\nbe present at birth. What causes hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid)? In\nbabies it is not known what causes hypothyroidism. In older children and\nadults, the most common cause of hypothyroidism is due to the autoimmune\ndisease, called Hashimoto’s disease, which tends to run in families. An\nautoimmune disease occurs when the immune system, which normally produces\nantibodies to attack foreign substances (like viruses and other bugs), starts\nproducing antibodies which attack part(s) of the body. In people with\nhypothyroidism the immune system attacks the thyroid cells as if they were\nforeign substances. Other possible causes may include complications from\nprevious thyroid surgery, treatment for previous hyperthyroidism or certain\nmedications, such as Lithium and Amiodarone. Why should I take this Thyroid\ntest? This test looks for the level of TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) in\ncapillary blood. A raised TSH level is an indication of an underactive thyroid\n(Hypothyroidism) Read more What are the symptoms of hypothyroidism? In\nhypothyroidism the thyroid is underactive and so the rate of metabolism slows\ndown. As hypothyroidism usually develops slowly you may have no symptoms until\nthe condition is well advanced. The symptoms you may have might be blamed on\nold age and can vary in severity but as your metabolism continues to slow, the\nsymptoms should become more obvious. The symptoms may include any of the\nfollowing: Feeling tired and lacking energy.A tendency to feel the cold more\nthan healthy people.Heart may beat slower.Weight gain and difficulty in losing\nit.Irregular or heavy periods.A hoarse, croaky voice.ForgetfulnessDepression\nLater symptoms may include constipation, dry, pale skin and dry hair, which\nmay be brittle and break easier.
