What Increases TSH Levels In The Body And Can It Be Managed?
About hypothyroidism symptoms;
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for asking!
The TSH you reported is high, suggesting for hypothyroidism.
Hypothyroidism is a condition in which the body lacks sufficient thyroid hormone. Since the main purpose of thyroid hormone is to "run the body's metabolism," it is understandable that people with this condition will have symptoms associated with a slow metabolism.
Symptoms of Hypothyroidism are:
Fatigue
Weakness
Weight gain or increased difficulty losing weight
Coarse, dry hair
Dry, rough pale skin
Hair loss
Cold intolerance (you can't tolerate cold temperatures like those around you)
Muscle cramps and frequent muscle aches
Constipation
Depression
Irritability
Memory loss
Abnormal menstrual cycles
Decreased libido
I suggest to see a physician to start levothyroxine with the appropriate dose according to your age, body weight and the presence of other pathologies.
The symptoms will be corrected within 6 weeks.
Best wishes,
Dr.Mirjeta
