7 Signs of your thyroid are not functioning properly

Thyroid dysfunction is a dangerous disease that affects body function but many people don't realize it. Problems begin to clot when lumps form at the base of the thyroid gland which affect normal production of important hormones.

Difficulty in maintaining weight, thinning hair and irregular blood pressure are the most prominent signs of the thyroid. But there are some lesser-known signs, most of which are ignored which can indicate problems in the early stages as reported by the Times of India.

1. Fatigue

Do you feel tired and exhausted every day? You might just ignore this but it might have something to do with the thyroid. An underactive thyroid or hypothyroidism can limit hormone production and lead to low levels of energy, which can cause fatigue even after getting the right sleep or doing nothing throughout the day.

2. Depression

When the thyroid becomes inflamed, hormone production also increases and fluctuations in these hormones can cause mood changes which is one of the first signs of depression. Depending on the person's condition, hormone production can even trigger anxiety in some people and interfere with your mental health.
