HI
Well come to HCM
Your thyroid condition and constipation are nothing to do with each other, for the constipation no need to overconscious, it would come around with little care, like have more fiber diet, drink more water even if you do not feel thirsty, keep a regular habit of going in toilet even if you do not have such feeling, still go in and sit there for some time no need to apply any force no matter if you do not pass the stool, try Isabgol powder prior to bed, take care.
