4 Ways Unbalanced Thyroid Hormone Can Affect Your Body

September 18, 2017 By Connie Odom

Metro MediSpa thyroid hormoneFor you to feel healthy and happy, your thyroid gland needs to be in top working order. This gland, located in your neck, produces the thyroid hormone that helps to regulate everything from your heart rate, metabolism, to your body temperature. However, if you start to produce too much, or too little thyroid hormone, then it can lead to some unpleasant side effects. If you start to experience any of the following, then it might be time to visit your doctor to get the problem checked:

Fatigue

Fatigue is caused by a simple problem: not getting enough sleep. However, you might start to feel exhausted all the time even with plenty of shut-eye; then it’s possible that your thyroid gland is to blame. Without enough thyroid hormone in your bloodstream, your muscles don’t get enough stimulation, leaving them feeling tired and sluggish.

Rapid Weight Change

As mentioned above, one of the primary functions of thyroid hormone is controlling your metabolism. If you find that your weight keeps climbing despite a healthy lifestyle, then it could well be the case that your thyroid is to blame. Without enough thyroid hormone, your body will take longer to break down food into energy, and your weight will start to rise as a result. On the other hand, an overactive thyroid can make your metabolism too rapid, leading to weight loss which could be dangerous if left unchecked.

Hair Loss

Most of us are well aware of just how healthy our hair is, so it can be pretty worrisome to run a brush over your head, only to find a lot more hair in that brush than usual.  In the vast majority of cases, you won’t be going bald- instead, it’s due to too little thyroid hormone in your body. Another of the functions of thyroid hormone is to keep your hair follicles switched on so that they act quickly to replace lost hair. If the follicles are switched off, then your hair will end up more brittle, and therefore more likely to fall out.

Depression

There are many different reasons why someone might suffer from depression. Thyroid hormone helps to regulate the production of serotonin in the brain, a chemical that makes you feel happy. Without serotonin, your mood will quickly plummet. This problem can be significant in itself and is certainly something you should see your doctor about as soon as possible.
