Should i be concerned having hypothyroidism?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Nope: Hi. No, don't be the least bit concerned. It's the most easily and perfectly treated of all endocrine hormone deficiency conditions. Take your medicine daily, and if you forget one day's thyroid hormone, take 2 the next day. Easy! Good luck!

Concerned: NO! Hypothyroidism is easy to diagnose and treat. Do you know what the cause of hypothyroidism was? Thyroid replacement is easy using tablets and from time to time the dosing might change. You will recognize that before anyone and you should report that to your doctor to arrange changes in dosing.
