Why do my hands get cold...my hair falling out. and sometimes feel faint?!


Question: Why do my hands get cold...my hair falling out. and sometimes feel faint?
i will try to make this short....my hands seem to go cold even if its a really hot day, my partner is always saying it but so are others.
i seem to see bits of my hair everywhere and its alot
and sometimes i seem to feel faint

i was told recently i was under weight but not badly and iv been having health issues with cysts on my ovaries
im going to see my doctor in the week, my mother seems to think i should be tested for alot of things like thyroids ect (im 21 years old)

has anyone had the same problems or any advice??

thank you

Answers:

I agree with your mother about having your thyroid assayed. Hair loss and coldness, as well as dry skin, weight gain, lower basal temperature are all classic symptoms of hypothyroidism. The being underweight actually isn't a textbook symptom, so there's a question there. I'd also ask to be tested for PCOS, Hashimoto's Syndrome, and Reynaud's Syndrome as well, and NOT put it off this time, no matter the reasons. It DEFINITELY sounds that something is out of whack with your endocrine system from the symptoms you report.
