DO I have Hyopthyroidism??!
Question:
DO I have Hyopthyroidism??
Hopefully someone can help me. I just had my first son about 8 months ago. I was 19 when I had him. Before I had my son i was a slim 118 lbs. Everyone in my family is small. I am now 142 lbs and cant loose the weight. I exercise and eat healthy everyday. Ive always been active, so i do not understand why This is happening. Someone told me i may have a thyroid problem. SOme symptoms I notice to have post-baby are depression, fatigue, anxiety, ear pain (only certian times throughout the day) that I have had since my 2nd trimester, breathing problems (exercise induced asthma), insecurity, HUGE mood swings, as some other things. I was wondering if this could all pointto a thyroid problem. I researched it a litt;e bit and found that so many things can be signes of this condition and seem unrelated. Can anyone help me?
Answers:
You do have some symptoms of hypothyroidism, but it can only be diagnosed with a blood test. It is a simple procedure and it will help to ease your mind even if you do not have it, so go ahead and see if you can get one done.
