What are the Symptoms of Hashimoto's Thyroiditis?

Hashimoto's Thyroiditis is an autoimmune disease that affects the thyroid gland, which produces several hormones in the body. The Hashimoto's disease causes inflammation that stops the thyroid from properly producing and coordinating hormones that control healthy metabolism.

Hashimoto's Thyroiditis Symptoms

Hashimoto's thyroiditis is thought to be caused by a combination of genes, age, gender, and possibly whether a person has other autoimmune diseases.

A typical early sign of the Hashimoto's disease is throat swelling near the Adam’s apple where the thyroid gland is located. However, without this noticeable symptom, it may take years of gradual progression before damage to the thyroid is detected. Since inflammation can destroy the thyroid, Hashimoto's thyroiditis' primary symptoms are also similar to an under-active or hypo-thyroid. Left untreated, it can lead to heart disease and high blood pressure.

Common Hashimoto's Thyroiditis Symptoms Checklist:

Fatigue
Constipation
Pale skin
Puffy face or tongue
Joint pain and stiffness
Muscle pain and weakness
Swelling of the thyroid gland in throat also known as a goiter, or "Adam's apple"
Inability to lose weight
