Your voice may get hoarse, your joints can get achy, and you may develop carpal tunnel syndrome (if you already had this condition, it may get worse with hypothyroidism).

If you’re having trouble getting pregnant, a thyroid problem may be to blame. You may also feel like you’re losing interest in everyday activities and feel somewhat worthless.

If you feel like you need to yawn in order to get oxygen, have sleep apnea or are snoring more than you used to, you may have hypothyroidism.

Other Symptoms of Hypothyroid Conditions.

Your eyes could also feel gritty and dry and be more sensitive to light than normal. You might also have more infections than normal, especially sinus infections.

Individuals can have different combinations of these symptoms, and they can be more or less severe depending on how long the body has been out of balance and how severe the thyroid deficiency is.

If you have several of these symptoms, visit your doctor, who may recommend you see an endocrinologist to confirm the diagnosis. Confirming that your symptoms of hypothyroid condition actually are because of a thyroid problem is as simple as taking a blood test.

Treatment for Hypothyroid Conditions

Treating your hypothyroid problem is usually pretty easy, too, though it can be difficult at first to find the right amount of hormone you need to take to replace what your body is no longer making. Most people simply have to take one pill daily that replaces the thyroid hormone and allows your body to function as normal.

Hypothyroid patients usually start to see their symptoms go away after a week or two of being on the treatment, but it usually takes one or two months to get fully regulated and to feel completely like your old self again.

The traditional treatment for low thyroid function is a prescription drug called Synthroid.
