What are the Symptoms of Hypothyroidism?

The thyroid (and its production of thyroid hormone) is responsible for governing all sorts of metabolic activity in the bodies of mammals. Thyroxine (the hormone itself) affects the brain, the nervous system and the rate at which cells multiply, absorb energy and burn energy. The thyroid helps to regulate protein synthesis; it governs the basal metabolic rate and works with growth hormones to regulate long bone growth. Thyroid hormones also affect how protein, fat, vitamins and carbohydrates are metabolized and burned by the body. In animals, thyroid hormones are thought to be involved in the hibernation cycles of some mammals and the molting patterns of birds. Hypothyroidism is a condition where the thyroid gland does not produce enough of the hormone; hypothyroidism is an abnormally low level of the hormone. So what are the symptoms of hypothyroidism? Don't worry online doctors can help you recognize them.

Hypothyroidism is commonly caused by a lack of iodine in the diet, or it can result from lithium based mood stabilizing drugs for bipolar disorder. More commonly, though, a low level of thyroid hormone has genetic causes. Your online doctor can provide an online prescription to combat the problem.

• Low heart rate (60 beats per minute or less)

Once you have your test results your online doctor can give you a prescription online. There are a few different thyroid hormones that all play separate roles in metabolic function; tests can narrow down levels of each and determine which one is deficient. Hypothyroidism is something that's generally treated with synthetic thyroid hormone drugs like Levothyroxine (aka Levoxyl or Synthroid). Some treatments might also include dessicated pig thyroid in drug form. These are drugs that are often available as an online prescription from an online doctor.

Synthroid, in particular, is one of the most widely prescribed brands of thyroid replacement drugs. First marketed in 1955, it's been shown to be a safe and effective drug for treating hypothyroidism. Synthroid and its generic equivalents can usually be found as an online prescription.

When treating hypothyroidism, a doctor online will want to monitor the patient's progress and make adjustments in dosage as needed.
