How doea caffeine affect hypothyroidism? i am having trouble falling asleep.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: Caffeine should not affect hypothyroidism. Hypothyroidism is going make you feel tired when it is active. Caffeine is a stimulant and it will keep you up. Cut down your amount of coffee and do not consume any after 2pm and you should be able to sleep better.
