Among all the organs of the human system, the thyroid gland, which is responsible for most processes in the body, deserves the most attention. It's no secret that the symptoms of thyroid problems, which can manifest themselves in many ways, cause most people to panic.
Is it really that scary? In any case, there is no need to panic, but any problems with the thyroid gland should be prevented as soon as possible. Treatment may even be minimal, not requiring surgical intervention and not leaving too tangible consequences.
Speaking about the initial signs of diseases of this organ, it should be noted that they occur at the hormonal level, respectively, it is almost impossible to determine them at an early stage without the intervention of a doctor. Accordingly, the symptoms of problems with the thyroid gland at the initial stage are quite meager, and if they manifest themselves, then in very rare cases, which is expressed by a sharp deterioration in well-being and a high degree of fatigue. This also includes memory impairment, sleep disturbance, which can also be expressed by increased drowsiness during the daytime and complete apathy ofaround.
In principle, such symptoms are characteristic of a number of diseases, therefore, it is not possible to diagnose a hormonal imbalance as a result of abnormalities in the thyroid gland on its own.
As the dysfunction of this organ progresses, more noticeable signs appear that will make it possible to make an unambiguous diagnosis. If you are interested in how to identify problems with the thyroid gland, you should pay attention to the following signs:
- visibly puffy face, appearance of general body edema;
- Significant weight gain without changing lifestyle and eating habits, and even with a diet, weight loss is very slow;
- brittleness and hair loss, general dryness of the skin, not typical before;
- the state of "freezing" regardless of weather and conditions;
- disturbance of sensitivity and pronounced pallor of the face, characteristic of a sick person.
At the same time, when describing the symptoms of problems with the thyroid gland, you should not bypass the most important organ - the heart, which is affected first in this case.
For example, most often in this case, the so-called bradycardia will be observed, which is a soft pulse, the filling of which is very weak. In addition, the symptoms of thyroid problems are accompanied by hypertension, which sometimes makes it difficult to make a diagnosis. Most patients write off their conditionto heart problems, without taking into account possible problems with one of the main organs of the entire system. In the event that no improvement is observed after antihypertensive therapy, it is necessary to check the condition of the thyroid gland and pass all the necessary tests to identify the general hormonal background of the body.
