A member asked:
I know hypothyroidism causes weight gain. but can it also sort of "age" your physical appearance since most of the processes in your body slow down?

Hypothyroidism: You are correct in surmising that hypothyroidism can cause more signs and symptoms than simple weight gain. Physical changes, mental alertness, tissue fluid status, hair status, heart rate, blood pressure,type of body fat,energy level are just some issues.
