Feeling cold all the time when you never used to. And 3. Changes to your skin, hair and nails. The skin becoming more clammy and “doughy” and the hair and nails becoming more brittle.

Courtesy of Hyperthyroidism is the term for overactive tissue within the thyroid gland causing an overproduction of thyroid hormones (thyroxine or “T4″ and/or triiodothyronine or “T3″). Hyperthyroidism is thus a cause of thyrotoxicosis, the clinical condition of increased thyroid hormones in the blood. It is important to note that hyperthyroidism and thyrotoxicosis are not synonymous. For instance, thyrotoxicosis could instead be caused by ingestion of exogenous thyroid hormone or inflammation of the thyroid gland, causing it to release its stores of thyroid hormones. Thyroid hormone is important at a cellular level, affecting nearly every type of tissue in the body. Thyroid hormone functions as a controller of the pace of all of the processes in the body. This pace is called metabolism. If there is too much thyroid hormone, every function of the body tends to speed up. It is therefore not surprising that some of the symptoms of hyperthyroidism are nervousness, irritability, increased perspiration, heart racing, hand tremors, anxiety, difficulty sleeping, thinning of the skin, fine brittle hair, and muscular weakness—especially in the upper arms and thighs. More frequent bowel movements may occur, but diarrhea is uncommon.

Diagnosed in October 2009, nine months later still struggling with tiredness and weight gain. Source info: What causes thyroid disease? There are several different causes of thyroid disease. The following conditions cause hypothyroidism: Thyroiditis is an inflammation of the thyroid gland. This can lower the amount of hormones produced. Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is a painless disease of the immune system that is hereditary. Postpartum thyroiditis occurs in 5 percent to 9 percent of women after giving birth. It is usually a temporary condition. Iodine deficiency is a problem affecting approximately 100 million people around the world. Iodine is used by the thyroid to produce hormones. Although prevalent before the 1950s in the USA, iodine deficiency has been virtually wiped out by the use of iodized salt. A non-functioning thyroid gland affects one in 4000 newborns. If the problem isn’t corrected, the child will be physically and mentally retarded. The following conditions cause hyperthyroidism: With Graves’ disease, the entire thyroid gland might be overactive and produce too much hormone. This problem is also called diffuse toxic goiter (enlarged thyroid gland). Nodules might be overactive within the thyroid. A single nodule is called toxic autonomously functioning thyroid nodule, while several nodules are called a toxic multi-nodular goiter. Thyroiditis, a disorder that can be painful or painless, can also release hormones that were stored in the thyroid gland causing …
