Suggest Treatment For Severe Hair Loss And Fatigue Due To Thyroid

Hi I m a 38-year-old female suffering from thyroid, my hair is falling out always tired among lots of other annoying symptoms the most that bothers me is the fatigue. I use to work out be energetic full of life, I ve become sluggish, lazy, tired, all the time which has lead to always being sad & depressed! I m taking Levothyroxine for almost a year I still have symptoms while on it but less. I m really concerned with the rapid hair loss though. I guess my question is am I going to lose all my hair? Is there anything I can do to prevent my hair from falling? What can I do to become energetic again? This thyroid issue is really messing me up mentally I ve even had a few really bad episodes of schizophrenia.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Thyroid dysfunction is such a disease that are subtle in symptoms even after starting the therapy, it takes some time to subside. With the functional elements like (Schizophrenia), symptoms would be more intense. I would advise you to reassess the TSH value and dose of the thyroid medicine.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
