Posted on Sat, 3 Oct 2015
Question: I'm wondering if my symptoms suggest a thyroid problem. I have: excessive sweating (very!) Weight gain, dizziness, (feeling off-balance), heart palps, rough voice-I feel it deep in my throat, and thinning hair. This is just a start.

Brief Answer:
These symptoms are usual for hypothyroidism.

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thank you for asking HCM.

I have gone through your query. The listed symptoms are usual for hypothyroidism. So it is better to go for thyroid profile test to rule out that. TSH will be elevated in such case. Hemoglobin level should be checked to rule out anemia as it can also give such symptoms.

Thyroxine supplementation will be helpful to relieve all these in case it is positive.

Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
