Nearly 30 million Americans are affected by thyroid disease. Did you know about half of them are undiagnosed?
The thyroid gland regulates how your body uses energy and produces hormones that are essential to proper cell and system functioning.
Women’s health.gov talks about some of the most common reasons people check their hormones.
- Weight loss/gain
- Excessive eating
- Rapid or irregular heartbeat
- Anxiety
- Irritability
- Trouble sleeping
- Increase sweating or heat sensitivity
- Muscle weakness
- Less frequent menstrual periods
