Who Should Test

Hypothyroidism or better known as an underactive thyroid is a result of the thyroid not producing enough of the key hormones that influence some of the most important bodily functions. Symptoms of an underactive thyroid could be the catalyst for wanting to get your thyroid checked – you can start with an at-home test kit which is the same lab tests your physicians are likely to advise when investigating your condition.

Symptoms include:

• Weight gain
• Fatigue or feeling tired all the time
• Slow pulse or heart rate
• Hair loss or thinning
• Poor tolerance of the cold
• Depression
• Dry, coarse or thickened skin
• Constipation
• Hand tingling or pain (carpal tunnel syndrome)
• Irregular period or low sex drive
• Muscle cramps
• Impaired memory

Hyperthyroidism is as you might imagine the opposite of hypothyroidism, known as an overactive thyroid. With this condition, your thyroid is producing excessive levels of hormones (too much) and you may experience the following:

• Weight loss
• Fatigue or feeling tired all the time
• Increase or rapid heart rate
• Tremors (usually in the hands)
• Heat intolerance or excessive sweating
• Difficulty sleeping
• Excessive sweating or fever
• Frequent bowel movements or diarrhoea
• Anxiety
• Irregular period
• Low sex drive
• Enlarged thyroid gland (goiter)
• Eye condition related to hyperthyroidism

In both cases the LetsGetChecked tests are reliable way of identifying thyroid dysfunction or damage that could lead to either hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism.
