Depends on wither it's sluggish, or hyper. If your thyroid is sluggish, you will gain weight, lose hair on your head, but grow more on your body, extreme fatigue.To check your thyroid, feel under your chin,each side about 2 to 3 inches apart, see if it feels swollen. A simple blood test will prove if it's not functioning properly, and medication will correct any imbalance, women should have theirs, checked yearly.

A swelling in the lower neck. That would be hypothyroidism. Weight gain, fatigue. Otherwise none as under active thyroid.
It's geneic. My mother had it, died from thyroid cancer. I have an enlarged thyroid, under control with medication. My son has hypothyroidism also. Many family members have it and are treated successfully with medication. Blood work reveals the level of function.
Over active, hyperthyroidism. Losing weight, cold and very anxious and shaky. Also controlled with medication.

If you have a hyperthyroid - severe weight loss, always hungry.
If you have a hypothyroid - severe weight gain, lethargy,
may also include hair loss, dry skin, nausia, swelling in the neck
just some of the symptons

I have one symptom. My throid goes into "hyperdrive" according to my dermatologist and gives me Vitiligo. Here are some pictures of others with the same thing. This happened to me after my lover died suddenly.

All thanks to an overactive thyroid that causes my body to think my skin color is a disease, so it sends white blood cells to kill the skin color.
