Among all the organs of the human system, the thyroid gland, which is responsible for the course of most processes in the body, deserves the most attention. It’s no secret that symptoms of thyroid problems, which can occur in different ways, cause most people to panic.
Is it really scary? In any case, there is no need to panic, but any problems with the
thyroid gland should be prevented as soon as possible
. Treatment may even be minimal, not requiring surgical intervention and not leaving too tangible consequences.
Speaking about the initial signs of diseases of this organ, it should be noted that they occur at the hormonal level, respectively, it is almost impossible to determine them at an early stage without the intervention of a doctor. Accordingly, the symptoms of thyroid problems at the initial stage are rather scarce, and if they manifest themselves, then in very rare cases, which is expressed by a sharp deterioration in well-being and a high degree of fatigue. This also includes memory impairment, sleep disturbance, which can also be expressed by increased drowsiness in the daytime and complete apathy to everything around.
In principle, such symptoms are characteristic of a number of diseases; accordingly, it is not possible to diagnose a hormonal disorder as a result of deviations in the thyroid gland.
With the progression of dysfunction of this organ, more noticeable signs appear that will make it possible to unambiguously diagnose. If you are interested in how to identify thyroid problems, you should pay attention to these signs:
- noticeably puffy face, the appearance of general edema of the body;
- significant weight gain without changing lifestyle and eating habits, and even with a diet, weight decreases very slowly;
- brittleness and hair loss, general dry skin, not typical before;
- the state of "freezing" regardless of weather and conditions;
- violation of sensitivity and pronounced pallor of the face, characteristic of a sick person.
At the same time, describing the symptoms of problems with the thyroid gland, you should not ignore the most important organ - the heart, which is the first to be affected in this case.
For example, most often in this case, the so-called bradycardia, which is a soft pulse, the filling of which is very weak, will be observed. In addition, symptoms of thyroid problems are accompanied by hypertension, which sometimes makes diagnosis difficult. Most patients attribute their condition to heart problems, without taking into account possible problems with one of the main organs of the entire system. In the event that after hypotensive therapy no improvement is observed, it is necessary to check the condition of the thyroid gland and pass all the necessary tests to identify the general hormonal background of the body.
