I do not know much about thyroid disorders, but I am aware they are much more prevalent than most of us realize. Dr. David Brownstein, a Family Physician, has done a lot of research and written on the subject. He is the author of the book Overcoming Thyroid Disorders as well as several other books. He has stated that the most common symptoms associated with thyroid dysfunction include the following:
- Brain fog and poor brain function
- Constipation
- Depression
- Dry skin, weight gain
- Fatigue
- Hair Falling Out
- Headaches
- Menstrual Disorders
- Poor eyebrow growth
- Sense of coldness, including hands and feet
He has also stated that a history of cardiovascular disease, psoriasis, infertility, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, as well as a history of anemia can all be related to inadequate thyroid function.
If you suffer from some of these problems and your thyroid function hasn't been checked, you may want to ask your doctor to do some thyroid testing.
