Hashimoto's Disease Symptoms

Most people today with thyroid problems don't know what Hashimoto's disease is let alone what the symptoms of this disease would look like. Then you have to add to this that most physicians don't look to see if you have this disease at all. What you end up with is a huge group of people that are not being treated for the actual problem that they have. This article will begin to explain the symptoms of Hashimoto's disease. The video below also discusses this topic.

One of the common signs to look for with Hashimoto's disease is enlarged thyroid tissue or a goiter. Now, when most people think of a goiter they think of a huge growth in the neck area of a person. In reality most people that show signs of having a goiter today are more difficult to spot unless you know what you're looking for. A slightly swollen spongy area around the thyroid is what you will typically find in a person with Hashimoto's disease. This spongy area is typically not painful, but can lead to difficulty swallowing over time.

Most people with Hashimoto's disease will first develop an under active thyroid as their thyroid tissue is being destroyed by their immune system. On the other hand some people will develop hyperthyroid issues if their thyroid tissue is being destroyed very rapidly. This is known as a thyroid storm or Grave's disease. Grave's disease can be a very serious problem that requires immediate medical attention.

Some of the more common Hashimoto's disease symptoms are as follows:

1. Depression
2. Low Heart Rate
3. Infertility
4. Dry or Thinning Hair
5. Strong or Irregular Periods
6. Feeling Cold and Fatigued
7. Puffy Face or Neck
8. Constipation
9. Muscle and Joint Pain

If you have a few or many of the above symptoms, it's important to have your thyroid checked by a trained professional. Someone who understands the complexity of Hashimoto's disease symptoms and can give you the individual care you need to overcome this autoimmune problem.
