Low TSH hypothyroid symptoms and all symptoms of hypothyroidism.

I found myself doing research for a friend today. As one of the undiagnosed cases, her doctor didn't realize her post-pardon medications could have sent her into a world of pain and problems. I recommend everyone know where their thyroid chemical levels at and get tested.

Low TSH hypothyroid symptoms and all symptoms of hypothyroidism.

.     All symptoms of hypothyroidism result from the fact that the thyroid gland is not making enough thyroid hormone. There are many reasons why the thyroid gland would begin to under-produce. Of the more common reasons are iodine deficiency and stress. However there are three classifications of hypothyroidism based on the organ with which the hypothyroidism is associated. 
.     Primary hypothyroidism is associated with the thyroid gland itself and typical symptoms range from asymptomatic to extreme versions of the following thyroid hypothyroidism symptoms:
Cold intolerance and increased sensitivity to cold, Constipation, Weight gain and water retention, Bradycardia (low heart rate – fewer than sixty beats per minute), Fatigue, Decreased sweating, Muscle cramps and joint pain, Dry and or itchy skin, Thin or brittle fingernails, Rapid thoughts, Depression, Poor muscle tone (muscle hypotonia), Female infertility and other menstrual issues, Hyperprolactinemia and galactorrhea, and Elevated serum cholesterol. Among other rarer or more severe symptoms.
.   All symptoms of hypothyroidism can also be displayed in secondary hypothyroidism. Secondary hypothyroidism is associated with the pituitary gland. It occurs if the pituitary gland does not create enough thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). Low TSH hypothyroid symptoms occur when the TSH isn't being produced to tell the thyroid gland to produce enough thyroxine and triiodothyronine. Secondary hypothyroidism has no clear-cut cause but usually is associated with damage to the pituitary gland, as by a tumor, radiation, or surgery. Secondary hypothyroidism, associated with the pituitary, accounts for less than ten percent of hypothyroidism cases.
.   All symptoms of hypothyroidism can also be displayed in tertiary hypothyroidism. Associated with the hypothalamus, tertiary hypothyroidism results when for some reason there is a failure of the hypothalamus to produce sufficient thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH). TRH prompts the pituitary gland to produce thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). Also termed hypothalamic-pituitary-axis hypothyroidism, tertiary hypothyroidism, like secondary hypothyroidism, can display  low TSH hypothyroid symptoms.
.     Thyroid hypothyroidism symptoms include in the severe stages:
Goiter, Slow speech and a hoarse voice – deepening of the voice can also be noticed, Dry puffy skin especially on the face, Thinning of the outer third of the eyebrows, Abnormal menstrual cycles, Low basal body temperature, and Thyroid-Related Depression.
.     Adrenal stress which is sometimes cited as a catalytic cause of thyroid hypothyroidism symptoms includes symptoms such as:
Fatigue, Headaches, Decreased immunity, Difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep, Mood swings, Sugar and caffeine cravings, Irritability or lightheadedness between meals, Eating to relieve fatigue, Dizziness when moving from sitting or lying to standing, and Gastric ulcers.
.     While all the symptoms afore mentioned are typically associated with nominal to severe hypothyroidism, also primary hypothyroidism, it is important to re-iterate the low TSH hypothyroid symptoms tend to present in decidedly mild manners. This seems to be a direct correlation; the higher the TSH levels the more severely and readily the condition will present symptoms. The best way to be sure when it comes to hypothyroidism is to go get testing done. When detected early, hypothyroidism can be prevented from disturbing one's life in severe manners. 

Description: As many as 200,000 and more cases of acute to mild hypothyroidism go undetected and untreated, learn the symptoms and get checked.
