Your thyroid produces hormones that regulate your heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature and weight. Thyroid cancer might not cause any symptoms at first. But as it grows, it can cause pain and swelling in your neck.

Hypothyroidism. One of the most common results of low iodine is that your thyroid can't make enough thyroid hormone, a condition called hypothyroidism. This might inflame the gland and cause a goiter, but not always. It could also thin your hair, dry your skin, and make you feel cold, tired, constipated, and depressed.

An underactive thyroid gland (hypothyroidism) is where your thyroid gland does not produce enough hormones. Common signs of an underactive thyroid are tiredness, weight gain and feeling depressed.

Hypothyroidism can also prevent you from getting or staying pregnant and cause a full-feeling neck, swollen hands and feet, muscle pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, or other tendinitis. In short, you may feel lousy.

Primary causes of hypothyroidism are much more common. The most common of these primary causes is an autoimmune condition called Hashimoto's disease. Also called Hashimoto's thyroiditis or chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis, this condition is hereditary (passed down through a family).

An overactive thyroid can also cause the following physical signs: a swelling in your neck caused by an enlarged thyroid gland (goitre) an irregular and/or unusually fast heart rate (palpitations) twitching or trembling.

Autoimmune disease. The most common cause of hypothyroidism is an autoimmune disorder known as Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Autoimmune disorders occur when your immune system produces antibodies that attack your own tissues. Sometimes this process involves your thyroid gland.

The most common cause of hypothyroidism is an autoimmune disease called Hashimoto's disease, a condition where the immune system makes antibodies that destroy thyroid cells and stop them from making the thyroid hormone. The most common form of hyperthyroidism is a condition called Graves' disease.

A healthy thyroid plays a vital part in brain chemistry, so we should not be surprised that a thyroid disorder can cause unpredictable mood changes. For example those with an overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism) can suddenly feel tense and anxious.

Hyperthyroidism occurs when your thyroid is overactive. This can cause a variety of physical changes. Most notable will be unexplained weight loss and a rapid or irregular heart rate. Hyperthyroidism puts your metabolism into overdrive, which can also result in feeling unusually hot as well as excessive sweating.

Characteristic symptoms are weakness, cold intolerance, mental and physical slowness, dry skin, typical facies, and hoarse voice. Results of the total serum thyroxine and free thyroxine index tests usually will confirm the diagnosis.

Low thyroid hormone production, or hypothyroidism, causes a range of symptoms, such as fatigue, constipation, dry skin and brittle nails, aches and pains, and feeling down. You might easily attribute hypothyroidism symptoms to other health problems. Moreover, hypothyroidism is especially common in women.
