You are worth the effort...

Make the pain and discomfort go away

We all know that when your body, specifically the thyroid gland in your neck makes too little of the regulating hormone needed for metabolism it is call an underactive thyroid or hypothyroidism. The thing is that there are varying levels of low thyroid hormone output. If you are not completely hypothyroid then it is called subclinical hypothyroidism. This is when your gland is not totally under active but it is producing low enough levels to make it a problem.

The signs and symptoms of the subclinical variety are the same as the full blown and still need to be treated. If you are suffering form subclinical hypothyroidism then you have an increased chance of a heart attack, high cholesterol, depression, panic attacks, and for women they have a higher chance of miscarrying a child if pregnant. As you can see this is a serious issue.

In the medical community there is a huge debate over the levels of the specific hormones that will be considered subclinical hypothyroidism or regular under active thyroid. The fact is that to the average person like you and I the numbers that scientists and doctors throw around are meaningless. We want to know what is wrong with us and what we have to do to solve the problem. In the case of an under active hormone producer it is medication where the body is supplemented with synthetic versions of the hormones so that you r body can move along like the well oiled machine it is. If you display signs of a hypothyroid, whether subclinical or not, get tested by your family doctor just as a precaution you will be glad you did.
