What are the side effects of thyroid?

For me, thyroid issues meant lying awake till 3 AM staring at the ceiling, and then feeling like a zombie all day. It completely messes up your sleep cycle, which makes you super irritable. My husband literally walks on eggshells around me because of my mood swings!

Haan na, it causes so much hair fall, I used to get so scared looking at my comb! And the dry skin in winter is just next level, normal moisturizers also don't work. It really drains your energy levels, ho na. If you are feeling extra cold all the time, do get a thyroid panel test done.

I have been managing my thyroid for almost twenty years now, beta. In the beginning, the joint pains and muscle weakness used to worry me a lot, and I felt quite anxious. But don't worry, once your doctor adjusts your daily pill dosage correctly, these symptoms almost entirely fade away.

Thyroid imbalance can show up in many different ways depending on whether it is hypo or hyper. Some people suffer from sudden weight gain, brain fog, and constipation, while others might experience rapid heartbeats and unexplained weight loss. It is always best to track your symptoms and get a TSH test done first.
