1. Thyroid problems can be divided into hyperthyroidism or hyperthyroidism deficiency. When the thyroid gland secretes too much hormones and accelerates the operation of various functions of the body, it is hyperthyroidism. At this time, the symptoms will be quite obvious, such as rapid heartbeat or arrhythmia, high blood pressure, nervousness, difficulty in falling asleep or shallow sleep, or excessive sweating. People with hyperthyroidism will lose weight for no reason, often feel depressed or uneasy, and will also lead to exophthalmos and decreased vision. ?
2. Hypothyroidism or hypothyroidism refers to the insufficiency of thyroid hormone secretion or diseases caused by it. It is the most common thyroid disease at present, often accompanied by fatigue, listlessness, slow metabolism and weight gain due to slow metabolism. In addition, there will be depression or emotional ups and downs, forgetfulness, hoarseness, fear of cold and so on. Dementia is often caused in infants, and in adults, it is often manifested as decreased oxygen consumption, decreased basal metabolic rate, dullness, lethargy, pallor, memory loss and listlessness. ?
3, appetite suddenly increased, taste and smell changed. If your appetite suddenly increases and your appetite suddenly gets better, it is probably related to hyperthyroidism. Because too much thyroid hormone will keep you hungry. In addition, hypothyroidism may change your taste and smell.
It is also worth noting that your skin suddenly becomes dry and your scalp often itches, because this is probably an early warning of your hypothyroidism. If there is too little thyroid hormone, the metabolic rate will slow down, which will cause changes in skin tissue, make water and sweat thicker, and the skin that loses moisture will become very dry and dandruff will fall off faster.
For the same reason, your nails will become less brittle. In addition, inexplicable weight change is also the most common symptom of thyroid dysfunction. Weight will increase when hypothyroidism occurs. If the patient has hyperthyroidism, the result will be very different. At this time, the patient's own hormones will exceed the body's own needs, and the most obvious consequence is weight loss. ?
These are typical symptoms of thyroid diseases. In fact, thyroid disease is not so terrible. Although its influence on physical and mental health is negative and stubborn, it can be controlled as long as it is found early and treated actively. Most of them will not leave any sequelae and will not recur.
When people reach middle age, compare the above symptoms. If you think you have thyroid disease, don't hesitate. It's best to go to a nearby hospital and have a thyroid stimulating hormone blood screening. Through this blood screening, we can accurately and timely understand the thyroid condition and prescribe the right medicine.
