Main Symptoms of Thyroid: Thyroid is a very common problem, which millions of people around the world are struggling with. People have some symptoms when they have thyroid, if they are identified at the right time, then this problem can be controlled in time. However, many people do not have the right information about thyroid and due to this they are not able to identify this disease at the right time. Today we will tell you what thyroid disease is and what are its symptoms. Along with this, we will also know how it can be detected.
Dr Sonia Rawat, Director, Preventive Health and Wellness Department, Sir Gangaram Hospital, New Delhi, told AnyTV That thyroid is a gland in the lower part of our throat. This gland releases hormones called triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) in our body. When there is a deficiency of T3 and T4 hormones in the body, then it is called hypothyroidism. When both these hormones become excessive, then this condition is called hyperthyroidism. People start having problems in both these conditions. It is very important to control thyroid.
Dr. Sonia Rawat told that in case of underactive thyroid i.e. hypothyroidism, symptoms like excessive fatigue, weight gain, feeling cold, joint and muscle pain, dry skin, hair fall, irregular periods, slow heart rate and depression can be seen. On the other hand, in case of hyperactive thyroid i.e. hyperthyroidism, symptoms like irritability, excessive sweating, increased heartbeat, muscle pain and trouble sleeping can be seen. If a person sees such symptoms, then he should get his thyroid checked.
According to experts, thyroid is tested through blood test. People should get it checked from time to time, although thyroid disease can happen to people of any age, but the risk is higher after 60 years. This problem is more common in women. To control this problem, everyone should adopt a healthy lifestyle, exercise daily, take a healthy diet, get adequate sleep of 7-8 hours daily, get checkups done from time to time and take medicines on time.
