A member asked:
I suffer from overactive thyroid and it's affecting my sleep, as i sweat and the goitre on my neck suffocates me sometimes, are sleeping pills okay?

Maybe : Are you being treated for the thyroid issues? Have you seen an endocrinologist? Sleeping pills treat nothing, they actually mask a symptom, poor sleep, and can effect the quality and distribution of your sleep. I would suggest seeing your thyroid specialist.
