Question

Answer 1

Low thyroid makes you gain weight.

Thyroxine is the thyroid hormone. It is a mechanism to set the level of metabolic activity in the body. If the thyroxine is low, you are HYPOTHYROID (underactive thyroid). Your TSH (the stimulating hormone to try to make you make more of the stuff) is usually (but not always) high in this setting. Your metabolism is low and you gain weight, are intolerant to cold, get slow heart rates, slower menstrual cycle, etc. See the wiki page

"In adults, hypothyroidism is associated with the following:

* Slowed speech and a hoarse, breaking voice. Deepening of the voice can also be noticed.
* Impaired memory
* Impaired cognitive function (brain fog)
* Urticaria (hives)
* Migraine headache
* Increased sensitivity to heat and cold
* A slow heart rate with ECG changes including low voltage signals. Diminished cardiac output and decreased contractility.
* Pericardial effusions may occur.
* Sluggish reflexes
* Dry puffy skin, especially on the face, and hair loss, especially thinning of the outer third of the eyebrows
* Depression (especially in the elderly)
* Weight gain
* Anemia caused by impaired hemoglobin synthesis (decreased EPO levels), impaired intestinal iron and folate absorption or B12 deficiency from pernicious anemia
* Slowed metabolism
* Constipation
* Fatigue (physical)
* anxiety/panic attacks
* Choking sensation or difficulty swallowing
* Shortness of breath with a shallow and slow respiratory pattern.
* Impaired ventilatory responses to hypercapnia and hypoxia.
* Increased need for sleep
* Muscle cramps and joint pain
* Brittle fingernails
* Osteopenia or Osteoporosis
* Paleness
* Irritability
* Yellowing of the skin due to impaired conversion of beta-carotene to vitamin A
* Abnormal menstrual cycles (Specifically Menorrhagia)
* Impaired renal function with decreased GFR.
* Thin, fragile or absent cuticles
* Elevated serum cholesterol
* Mood instability
* Acute psychosis (myxedema madness) is a rare presentation of hypothyroidism
* Poor muscle tone (muscle hypotonia)
* Decreased libido
* Inattentiveness"

Hyperthyroidism is the opposite. The metabolic level is set high because of lots of thyroxine - overproduction. The TSH level is often low. The patients with hyperthyroidism have rapid heart beat, weight loss, increased appetite, heat intolerance, fatigue, irritability, diarrhoea, vomiting, palpitations of the heart ...

Answer 3

People who are hyperthyroid have increased thyroid hormone. This creates a hypermetabolic state. The patient will lose weight despite eating a lot, have tremors, proptosed (popping out) eyes, heat intolerance, tachycardia (fast heartbeat). On the other hanh, a hypothyroid person has deficient thyroid hormones. As such, the reverse of hyperthyroid symptoms are expected.

Answer 5

If you have an overactive thyroid, you will have symptoms such as: weight loss, sweating, palpitations, tremors, nervousness, anxiety, and sometimes your eyes may bulge out more than normal.

If you have an underactive thyroid, you will have symptoms such as: weight gain, coarse hair and skin, sluggishness, cold intolerance, enlarged tongue, etc.

Your doctor can do some tests to determine which you have, then they can prescribe the appropriate medication for either.

Answer 8

The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland that sits low on the front of the neck. Your thyroid lies below your Adam’s apple, along the front of the windpipe. The thyroid has two side lobes, connected by a bridge (isthmus) in the middle. When the thyroid is its normal size, you’re unlikely to be able to feel it.
All types of hyperthyroidism are due to overproduction of thyroid hormones, but the condition can develop in several ways.
Thyroid hormone production can be suppressed or halted completely in these ways: https://tr.im/gLIxf

Answer 11

Well from what I know loss of function in the thyroid gland means your metabolism is gone. So basically if your thyroid is working harder your burning more fat.
