Frequently asked questions

What are the risks of not taking my hypothyroidism medication?
Because the thyroid gland affects so many different organ systems, poor thyroid function can cause a wide range of side effects, including fatigue, mental health symptoms, and high blood pressure (hypertension).
If thyroid levels get dangerously low, the condition can lead to a thyroid emergency like myxedema coma, which is frequently fatal.
Levothyroxine, a common hypothyroidism medication, has a relatively long half-life of 7 days. This means that the drug continues to work in your body even if you skip a dose. But it's critical to maintain healthy thyroid function (euthyroid) to reduce your risk of health problems.
Hypothyroidism medication should be taken consistently, and thyroid levels checked regularly by a healthcare provider.
What are the symptoms of an overactive thyroid?
Symptoms of an overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism) include the following:
• Anxiety
Palpitations (fast or irregular heartbeat)
• Unintentional weight loss
• Feeling unusually sensitive to warm temperatures
• Excessive sweating
• Tremor
• Diarrhea
• Difficulty sleeping
