10 Hypothyroidism Symptoms

Aches and Weakness in Joints or Muscles

Low levels of thyroid hormone could flip your metabolic switch to catabolism. As a result, your body will break down tissues such as muscles for energy. During catabolism, your muscle strength will be decreased, thus resulting in a feeling of weakness as well as aching. Most people often feel weak once, but patients with hypothyroidism can experience it twice or more usual. In some cases, you might even suffer from muscle cramps. [5]
