What are the physical sensations that you experience when you have thyroid issues

[DreamWeaver]

I am struggling with thyroid issues and I am wondering what physical sensations other people experience? I know that some of the common symptoms of thyroid issues can include fatigue, weight gain, hair loss, and constipation, but I am curious to hear what other people experience. Does anyone have any insight into what kind of physical sensations they have when dealing with thyroid problems? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Physical Symptoms of Thyroid Issues

Fatigue
The most common physical symptom of thyroid issues is fatigue. People with hypothyroidism often feel tired and lacking in energy, even after a full night's sleep. This fatigue can be intense and can make it difficult to perform daily tasks.

Weight Changes
People with thyroid issues may experience sudden weight changes, either weight gain or weight loss. This can be due to the body's inability to metabolize food properly, leading to changes in appetite and cravings.

Changes in Heart Rate
Thyroid issues can cause changes in heart rate, including rapid or irregular heartbeats. These changes can cause chest pain, shortness of breath, and lightheadedness.

Hair Loss
Hair loss is another common physical symptom of thyroid issues. This can happen due to changes in the hormones that regulate hair growth and can cause thinning or complete loss of hair.

Dry Skin and Nails
The hormones that regulate skin and nail health can be affected by thyroid issues, leading to dry, brittle skin and nails. These changes can cause itchy, flaky skin and can make nails more brittle and prone to breaking.

Muscle and Joint Pain
Thyroid issues can cause muscle and joint pain due to the body's inability to use energy properly. These pains can be sharp or dull and can be located in different areas of the body, including the back, arms, and legs.
