"10 Red Flags You Could Have a Serious Thyroid Problem" - Christine Yu
Your thyroid is one of the most influential organs in your body. The butterfly-shaped gland in your neck produces hormones that regulate metabolism – how your cells convert nutrients into and use energy – and ultimately keeps all the systems in your body in line and functioning properly. If your thyroid levels are off—either overactive and releasing too many hormones or underactive and releasing too few hormones—it can lead to a host of symptoms. But thyroid problems can be tricky to spot, which is why up to 60 percent of those with thyroid disease aren't aware of their condition. “Your doctor will do a physical exam, evaluating the thyroid gland and the body for symptoms related to thyroid dysfunction. Blood tests to check thyroid hormone levels can be performed as well,” said Deena Adimoolam, MD, assistant professor of medicine, endocrinology, diabetes and bone disease at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.
