Question

What is the major cause for this sleeping too much, is it because this person is very lazy?

Answer 1

thyroid!!!, I have hypothyroidism, I just could not do anything but sleep. My family kept getting onto me for being lazy. It went on 1 1/2yrs before I went to the doctor. He told me years ago I have chronic fatigue syndrome. I thought that was the problem. He checked my thyroid, it was really low. He put me on synthroid which I have been on for 3 years and this year I have felt better than I have in a long time. Now I take a b complex vitamin I got at Sams warehouse. I sometimes want to nap and can't!!!!! Please have your thyroid checked, it regulates every organ in your body.

Hypothyroidism
What is hypothyroidism?
Hypothyroidism is the condition in which the thyroid is underactive (i.e., it is producing an insufficient amount of thyroid hormones). Hypothyroidism is the most common thyroid disorder. Severe hypothyroidism can lead to a condition called myxedema, characterized by dry, thickened skin, course facial features, and profound fatigue, sometimes lethargy.
Causes of hypothyroidism:
What are the symptoms of hypothyroidism?
Symptoms of hypothyroidism are usually very subtle and gradual and may be mistaken for symptoms of depression. The following are the most common symptoms of hypothyroidism. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
fatigue
intolerance to cold
dull facial expression
hoarse voice
slow speech
droopy eyelids
puffy and swollen face
weight gain
constipation
sparse, course and dry hair
coarse, dry, and thickened skin
carpal tunnel syndrome (hand tingling or pain)
slow pulse
muscle cramps
orange-colored soles and palms
sides of eyebrows thin or fall out
confusion
increased menstrual flow in women
Untreated hypothyroidism may lead to anemia, low body temperature, and heart failure.
The symptoms of hypothyroidism may resemble other conditions or medical problems. Always consult your physician for a diagnosis. A condition called secondary hypothyroidism sometimes occurs as a result of a failing pituitary gland. When the pituitary gland fails, it no longer stimulates the thyroid to produce thyroid hormones.
Treatment may include prescription of thyroid hormones to replace the deficient hormones. Dosage of thyroid hormone may need to be increased over the years. Yearly checkups are usually required to ensure the proper dosage of thyroid hormones is taken. A patient usually takes thyroid hormones for the rest of his/her life.
