My father was diagnosed with one of the two - I cannot remember for the life of me which one it was.
I BELIEVE he gained some weight as a result - if that helps tell which one he had?
Either way, his doctor warned him that it is hereditary and that it is common in women, so I have a high chance of developing it.
He developed it in his early to late 30s I think, and he takes pills to keep it under control.

However, I want to watch for the signs of it - I know very little about it and have had little luck understanding what I find on the internet. Based on what I’ve said (not much, I’m sorry lol) can you tell which one he probably had? If so, what symptoms should I look out for?
Anything I can do to prevent it, or lessen the chances of getting it?

Thanks!
Answerer 1: I don’t get it. For hypothyroidism you stated that symptoms are both weight loss and weight gain? Is that a typo and you meant to specify an underactive thyroid, or can hypothyroidism cause both extremes?
Oh, I didn’t see you put hyper and hypo - what a stupid way to name two different things, the spelling is so close! I found out it it hypothyroidism that my father had which means he has an underactive thyroid.

I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism when I was 17. My thyroid function is "normal" or at least that’s what the doctor says. I’ve been taking levothyroxine for as long as I’ve been diagnosed. I’m 22 now and even thought I’m taking the medication, I’m still having symptoms: Hair loss, Intolerance to cold and of course, weight loss.
