🔥 Out-of-Control Thermostat
Are you cold when it's hot, or vice versa? The thyroid regulates body temperature. An imbalance disrupts this mechanism, causing chills or unusual hot flashes.
⚖️ Weight Fluctuations
Weight that changes for no apparent reason can be a strong warning sign. In hypothyroidism, metabolism slows down and promotes weight gain; in hyperthyroidism, it speeds up, causing weight loss and loss of appetite.
🌸 Irregular Periods
Irregular menstrual cycles, light or heavy flow often indicate a hormonal imbalance related to the thyroid. This imbalance can also affect fertility.
🧠 Persistent Brain Fog
Memory problems, sluggishness, or difficulty concentrating? Hypothyroidism can slow cognitive functions, giving the impression of "thinking through cotton wool."
👀 Neck Discomfort or Swelling
A lump in the throat, difficulty swallowing, or a visible goiter under the chin are typical signs of a thyroid disorder, especially if the neck appears swollen or asymmetrical.
