Feeling Tired

Feeling tired is one of the most prevalent symptoms of hypothyroidism. The thyroid hormone regulates energy balance and can impact whether you are ready to go or sleep. Hibernating animals, for example, have low thyroid levels leading up to their extended slumber. The thyroid hormone receives brain messages and coordinates cell functioning, depending on what else is going on in your body. Thyroid hormone excess causes nervousness and jitteriness. People with low thyroid, on the other hand, feel weary and sluggish.

Physical weariness and decreased activity were reported by 138 persons with hypothyroidism in one research. They also expressed decreased motivation and mental fatigue. Individuals with hypothyroidism feel tired despite sleeping more. In another study, 50% of those with hypothyroidism reported feeling consistently exhausted, whereas 42% of people with low thyroid hormone reported sleeping more than usual. Sleeping more than normal without a good reason might be an indication of hypothyroidism.
