Hi,

Hashimoto's thyroiditis and subsequent hypothyroidism caused by this autoimmune disease is the cause of anxiety, weight gain and fatigue. There is no cure for the disease. But thyroid hormone supplementation will help in reducing the symptoms. Thyroxine should be started and the improvement should be assessed with thyroid function test every 20 to 30 days.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Saranya Ramadoss, General & Family Physician
