What Feels Like Stress May Call for a Thyroid Test

(continued)

Vital Information:

A variety of vague symptoms -- such as fatigue, aches and pains, depression, and memory problems -- could indicate low thyroid function, or hypothyroidism.
In a recent study, 10% of participants had low thyroid levels, and researchers recommend that certain groups of people get tested regularly, including older patients and those with a family history of hypothyroidism.
People with low thyroid levels are also more likely to have high cholesterol, suggesting that hypothyroidism may increase the risk of heart disease.
