Weight loss or weight gain is usually noticeable. It is one of the most common signs that something is wrong with the thyroid. Hypothyroidism occurs when thyroid levels are low.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your thyroid gland is responsible for keeping your metabolism running, so if your thyroid levels are too high, you have hyperthyroidism. And both can affect your weight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although some people may joke that having a thyroid problem that causes weight loss is a good thing, the health risks associated with it can be serious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When your thyroid is hypo and produces too few hormones, you’ll suffer from fatigue that is crippling – even if you sleep well. This imbalance can also lead to depression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To get the much-needed feel-good effects from serotonin, you need to keep your thyroid levels accurate. Without them, you won’t get the serotonin you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A hyperthyroid imbalance can cause you to feel anxious. You might feel like you have the jitters and can’t sit still. The overabundance of hormones hits your body all at once, impacting your health and ability to function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A thyroid hormone imbalance can cause weight gain because it can make people feel hungry even if they’ve just eaten, leading them to consume more calories than they need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A thyroid hormone imbalance can also cause constipation or diarrhea, depending on which type of imbalance you have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The symptoms of thyroid problems can include insomnia, cognitive problems, or changes in menstrual cycle. If you’ve noticed changes in your weight and suspect that you have thyroid problems, then you need to check your levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
