Thyroid Issues May Cause Constant Fatigue, Doctors Warn

Doctors say that if you're always tired, it might not just be stress.

Your thyroid, a small gland in your neck, could be the problem.

If your thyroid doesn't make enough hormones, you might feel tired, gain weight, and feel cold all the time.

This is called hypothyroidism.

On the other hand, if your thyroid makes too many hormones, you might feel anxious, lose weight, and have trouble sleeping.

This is called hyperthyroidism.

Both can make you feel very tired.

Doctors recommend eating healthy foods like fruits and vegetables, and avoiding processed foods and too much salt.

They also suggest doing activities like yoga and meditation to manage stress.

If you think you might have a thyroid problem, it's important to see a doctor and get a blood test.
