Low energy, being tired all the time, gaining weight or struggling with weight loss, congestion, dry skin, sadness, low blood pressure... the symptoms are all linked to the thyroid.
But it is not only one way the thyroid can be dysregulated. Indeed there are three ways theses symptoms can occur but they are all caused by different causes.
Primary Hypothyrodism can be caused by the lack of nutrients which are need to build the thyroid hormones, for example, iron, selenium, vitamin D and a few more.
In Secondary Hypothyrodism not the thyroid itself but the hypophysis causes the symptoms and is also effecting the hormonal axis.
The last one is probably something your doctor will never diagnose. The Low Thyoid Syndrome which is caused by the disruption of the conversion from fT4 to fT3. This is caused by high cortisol levels, which your doctor will probably never see. It requires the testing of an additional hormone, reverse T3. To find out, which type of Hypothyroidism you are facing, it needs a deep look into your blood results and someone who understands your symptoms.
