Take Time to Thank Your Thyroid The thyroid plays an important role in your health. The small, butterfly-shaped gland at the base of your neck works hard, and it deserves more attention. Despite its small size, the thyroid is responsible for producing hormones that help regulate metabolism. It also affects the function of many other important organs, including the heart, brain, liver, kidneys, and skin. Also, thyroid disease is more prevalent than you might think. It affects approximately 200 million people worldwide, and it remains undiagnosed in far too many. Common health conditions related to the thyroid: • Hyperthyroidism is an overactive thyroid and hypothyroidism is an underactive thyroid. • Some of the symptoms of hyperthyroidism include heart palpitations, heat intolerance, weight loss, anxiety, and insomnia. • Some of the symptoms of hypothyroidism include weight gain, hair loss, sensitivity to cold, constipation, poor memory, muscle weakness, and persistent fatigue. • Goiter is a thyroid condition that causes a visibly enlarged thyroid gland that may impact swallowing or breathing. Many symptoms of a thyroid imbalance may be difficult to recognize and can often mimic other conditions. The health of your thyroid is important to your body’s overall health and well-being. If you’re having symptoms you think may be related to a thyroid condition, call your doctor get it checked!
