under active thyroid?

Question:

i seem to loose a lot of hair on a daily basis .Is it anything to do with my under active thyroid or some thing different? i am on mediaction for my thyroid.

Answers:
i have low thyroid. if you have low thyroid.here's a great question to answer: can you see the floor of your house? that was what was asked of me at one point, and to my amazement, the answer was no!
anyway, the signs are:fatigue and lack of energy. Women suffering from underactive thyroid experience heavier menstrual periods. Sluggishness and forgetfulness are symptoms of underactive thyroid problem. Other symptoms of this thyroid disorder are dry skin and hair and constipation.
if you have high thyroid, or an overactive one, the signs are:increased body metabolism. This is followed by weight loss and excessive warmth and sweating. Persons suffering from overactive thyroid experience trembling hands, irritability and rapid heartbeat or palpitations. Women with overactive thyroid or hyperthyroidism may experience shorter or lighter menstrual periods.
I take medication, and sadly will have to take 1 pill everyday for the rest of my life. there's a blood check that they will do to see if you have low or high. i hope i've helped you!!

Other Answers:
Thyroid problems can cause hair loss.

If you've been on the thyroid medication for some time and this is a recent occurrance, you should check it out with your doctor.

Is it time for your check up? You might consider consulting the doctor who put you on the Thyroxin or other thyroid pill.

It could have to do with your thyroid, but it's prolly best to ask your doctor because people on here dont know much and cant examine you for other problems like a doctor can
