đ„ Out-of-Control Thermostat
Are you cold when it's hot, or vice versa? The thyroid regulates body temperature. An imbalance disrupts this mechanism, causing chills or unusual hot flashes.
âïž Weight Fluctuations
Weight that changes for no apparent reason can be a strong warning sign. In hypothyroidism, metabolism slows down and promotes weight gain; in hyperthyroidism, it speeds up, causing weight loss and loss of appetite.
đž Irregular Periods
Irregular menstrual cycles, light or heavy flow often indicate a hormonal imbalance related to the thyroid. This imbalance can also affect fertility.
đ§ Persistent Brain Fog
Memory problems, sluggishness, or difficulty concentrating? Hypothyroidism can slow cognitive functions, giving the impression of "thinking through cotton wool."
đ Neck Discomfort or Swelling
A lump in the throat, difficulty swallowing, or a visible goiter under the chin are typical signs of a thyroid disorder, especially if the neck appears swollen or asymmetrical.
