Signs & Symptoms of Thyroid Problems

Sleeping Problems and Tiredness

This is another common symptom that people with thyroid problems experience. If you notice that you always feel tired, even after enough sleep and rest, or if you discover that you’re always dozing off or taking long naps during the day, it might be as a result of an underactive thyroid gland. An overactive thyroid gland may cause you to experience anxiety at night, difficulty in falling asleep, and even waking up severally during the night. These symptoms are not unique to thyroid problems, and that is a significant reason to visit a doctor to diagnose what the problem is properly. [2]
