A member asked:

What to do if i have hypothyroidism - are my tsh and ft4 levels severe?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See your doctor: If your thyroid gland is not making enough thyroid hormone, you have Hypothyroidism. Hypothyroid ism slows down your metabolism. You may feel tired, gain weight, have constipation and frequently feel cold. You need to see your doctor. Hypothyroidism is easily and simply treated with medication. Treatment will probably make you feel much better.
