Thyroid Symptoms

Understanding the early signs of thyroid imbalance helps you get the right care sooner. Below we outline the common symptoms of an underactive or overactive thyroid and when to consult a doctor.

Hypothyroidism Symptoms

Common Signs of an Underactive Thyroid

  • Persistent fatigue and sluggishness
  • Unexplained weight gain or difficulty losing weight
  • Feeling cold more often than others and dry skin
  • Constipation and a slow heart rate
  • Depression, memory problems or brain fog
  • Heavy or irregular menstrual periods

How These Symptoms Affect You

Hypothyroidism slows down your metabolism. Over time you may notice tiredness that doesn’t improve with rest, weight that steadily increases despite unchanged eating habits, and a general feeling of mental and physical heaviness. Feeling constantly cold and experiencing dry skin or hair loss are also common. If these signs sound familiar, it’s important to have your thyroid function checked.

Hyperthyroidism Symptoms

Common Signs of an Overactive Thyroid

  • Unintentional weight loss despite normal or increased appetite
  • Rapid or irregular heartbeat, palpitations or tremors
  • Anxiety, irritability and sleep disturbances
  • Heat intolerance, profuse sweating and thinning hair
  • Frequent bowel movements or diarrhoea
  • Light or irregular menstrual periods

How These Symptoms Affect You

Hyperthyroidism accelerates your metabolism. You may feel nervous, experience racing thoughts, and struggle to sleep. Your heart can beat faster than usual, sometimes causing palpitations or shortness of breath. Over time, heat intolerance and unexplained weight loss may lead you to feel weak or anxious. These symptoms shouldn’t be ignored; timely intervention is key.

When to See a Doctor

Both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism can mimic other health issues. If you experience a combination of the above symptoms for more than a few weeks, it’s important to seek a professional evaluation. Untreated thyroid disease can lead to serious complications, but early diagnosis helps prevent long‑term health problems.
