      The symptoms of thyroid problems can vary greatly depending on whether your thyroid gland is producing too much hormone (hyperthyroidism) or too little (hypothyroidism).
      Symptoms of an Underactive Thyroid (Hypothyroidism):
      When your thyroid doesn’t produce enough hormones, your metabolism slows down, leading to symptoms like:
      * Fatigue and tiredness: Feeling exhausted even after getting enough sleep.
      * Weight gain: Often unexplained, despite no changes in diet or exercise.
      * Increased sensitivity to cold: Feeling cold even in mild temperatures.
      * Constipation: Slower digestion.
      * **Dry skin and hair: Skin can be dry and scaly, and hair may become thin, coarse, or brittle.
      * Muscle aches, tenderness, and stiffness: Including muscle weakness and cramps.
      * Joint pain, stiffness, or swelling.
      * Depression and mood changes: Feeling sad, apathetic, or experiencing mood swings.
      * Memory problems and difficulty concentrating: Often described as “brain fog.”
      * Slowed heart rate (bradycardia).
      * Heavy or irregular menstrual periods.
      * Hoarse voice.
      * A puffy face or swelling in the face/legs.
      * Loss of libido (sex drive).
      * Thinning or partly missing eyebrows.
      * Carpal tunnel syndrome (pain, numbness, and tingling in the hand and fingers).
      Symptoms of an Overactive Thyroid (Hyperthyroidism):
      When your thyroid produces too much hormone, your metabolism speeds up, causing symptoms such as:
      * Unexplained weight loss: Often despite an increased appetite.
      * Rapid or irregular heartbeat (palpitations, tachycardia, or arrhythmia).
      * Nervousness, anxiety, and irritability.
      * Tremor: Usually a slight trembling in the hands and fingers.
      * Increased sweating and sensitivity to heat: Warm, moist skin.
      * Changes in bowel patterns: Especially more frequent bowel movements or diarrhea.
      * Sleep problems: Difficulty falling or staying asleep (insomnia).
      * Muscle weakness.
      * Changes in menstrual cycles: Irregular or lighter periods.
      * Enlarged thyroid gland (goiter): May appear as a swelling at the base of the neck.
      * Bulging eyes (thyroid eye disease/Graves’ ophthalmopathy): More common in Graves’ disease, an autoimmune cause of hyperthyroidism. This can also involve a gritty sensation, pressure or pain, puffy or retracted eyelids, redness, inflammation, light sensitivity, or double vision.
      * Thinning skin.
      * Fine, brittle hair.
      * Reddened palms.
      * Raised, itchy rash (hives) or discolored, swollen skin (Graves’ dermopathy).
      When to see a doctor:
      Many of these symptoms can be caused by other conditions. If you experience persistent or concerning symptoms that might suggest a thyroid problem, it’s important to see a healthcare provider. A simple blood test can often help determine if your symptoms are related to your thyroid.
