Thyroid??

Question

Any of you have thyroid issues? I’m wondering if I need to get mine checked out. Lately I have been so tired. Like sleepy tired.. pregnant tired is just like no energy. It’s different. I slept 10 hours last night and all day, even while driving or walking around shopping I probably could’ve closed my eyes and slept. Idk what else would be making me feel this sleepy

Answer

I have hypothyroidism! It wouldn’t hurt to get checked out! My symptoms were:
-excessive tiredness, like you’re mentioning
-always feeling cold (even when it’s warm out)
 -excessive hair loss 
-thin eyebrows 
My dr said I have it pretty bad, so your symptoms may not be as severe, but the fatigue is definitely the first symptom people notice. I actually went in because my hair was falling out so bad I thought there was no way it could be normal postpartum hair loss 😓 I was prescribed 100mg of levothyroxine and I feel so much better!! My dr said having a baby can trigger under active thyroid so it’s actually pretty common for moms.

Answer

I have hypothyroidism as well, i was diagnosed when I was 22. I was diagnosed during a physical (my thyroid was enlarged) I didn’t have any of the symptoms to make me think I had a medical problem, but I did gain a lot of weight that year. 
It is a simple blood test, I say get tested, it couldn’t hurt.

Answer

I got diagnosed at 21 after I had my first baby. It’s common for a pregnancy to trigger it.
