Thyroid Q & A<\/h3>\n

What is my thyroid?<\/span><\/h4>\n

A small butterfly-shaped gland, your thyroid is located at the base of your neck. It\u2019s an endocrine gland, which means it makes hormones to control various vital functions in your body. Thyroid hormones control how fast your heart beats, how quickly you burn calories, and other functions.<\/span><\/p>\n

When your thyroid isn\u2019t working the way it should, it can affect your whole body. There are several types of thyroid problems. Some can make you feel tired, increase your heart rate, or cause you to lose or gain weight.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

What are thyroids problem?<\/h3>\n

The four main thyroid-related conditions are hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, thyroid cancer, and thyroid nodules.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    <\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    \n
    \n

    Hyperthyroidism<\/h3>\n

    Hyperthyroidism is brought on when your thyroid gland makes too much of a hormone called thyroxine. When this happens, you may:<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    • Lose weight, even when you\u2019re eating normally<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Experience a rapid or irregular heartbeat or pounding sensations in your heart<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Feel more hungry than usual<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Feel irritable, anxious, or nervous<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Experience trembling in your hands and fingers<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
      \n
      \n

      Hypothyroidism<\/h3>\n

      Hypothyroidism is the opposite of hyperthyroidism. Hypothyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland doesn\u2019t produce enough of certain hormones required by your body. You may barely notice the symptoms of hypothyroidism, which occur over time.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Some symptoms to watch for include:<\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
      • Fatigue<\/span><\/li>\n
      • A puffy face<\/span><\/li>\n
      • Increased sensitivity to cold<\/span><\/li>\n
      • Constipation<\/span><\/li>\n
      • Weight gain<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
        \n
        \n

        Thyroid Cancer<\/h3>\n

        Thyroid cancer isn\u2019t very common. It\u2019s usually detected early and is treatable. Signs of thyroid cancer include:<\/span><\/p>\n

          \n
        • A lump you can feel on your neck<\/span><\/li>\n
        • Changes in your voice, such as hoarseness<\/span><\/li>\n
        • Trouble swallowing<\/span><\/li>\n
        • Pain in throat and neck<\/span><\/li>\n
        • Swollen lymph nodes in your neck<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
          \n
          \n

          Thyroid Nodules<\/h3>\n

          Thyroid nodules are solid or liquid-filled lumps that develop within your thyroid gland. While these nodules are generally not harmful to your health, if they become too large, they can interfere with breathing or swallowing.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

          \n
          \n
