Irregular Periods and Fertility Trouble
Thyroid imbalances can disrupt menstrual cycles. Hypothyroidism may cause heavier or irregular periods, while hyperthyroidism can make them lighter or disappear altogether. These changes can also affect fertility.
Heart Rate Irregularities
A slow heartbeat may indicate hypothyroidism, while a racing or irregular heartbeat could be a sign of hyperthyroidism. These changes can lead to dizziness, fatigue, or even palpitations.
Sleep Disturbances
Struggling to fall asleep or waking up often? Hyperthyroidism may be overstimulating your nervous system. On the other hand, hypothyroidism might make you want to sleep constantly but still feel exhausted.
Hoarseness or Voice Changes
A raspy or hoarse voice that won’t go away could signal thyroid gland enlargement or nodules pressing against your vocal cords.
Swelling in the Neck
A visible lump or swelling at the base of your neck might be a goiter or thyroid nodule. This can affect swallowing and may feel like pressure or tightness in the throat.
Eye Issues
Graves’ disease, an autoimmune form of hyperthyroidism, can cause bulging eyes, redness, dryness, and irritation. In severe cases, it can even affect vision.
