Hypothyroidism Symptoms

Meaning

Hypothyroidism symptoms represent the diverse clinical signs and subjective experiences that result from a deficiency in circulating thyroid hormones, primarily thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), leading to a generalized deceleration of the body’s metabolic processes. The common manifestations include persistent fatigue, unexplained weight gain, profound cold intolerance, dry and coarse skin, and mental fog or sluggishness. Because thyroid hormones regulate nearly all cellular function, the symptom presentation is often non-specific and can mimic other chronic conditions or general aging.
