I've been told i have hypothyroidism, how come i don't have many symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Many people with hypothyroidism have no symptoms or very mild symptoms. The severity of symptoms isn't directly affected by the actual thyroid hormone levels either.It is partly affected by how quickly the levels changed. A gradual decline can often go unnoticed even with pretty low levels, but people who have a sudden drop ( like after surgery) are often more symptomatic.
