You probably don't spend a lot of time thinking about the butterfly-shaped gland in your neck which helps regulate metabolism, heart rate, energy levels and body temperature. But thyroid disorders are very common. It’s estimated that 20 million Americans have some form of thyroid disease, and as many as 60 percent of those with thyroid disease are unaware of their condition.

Thyroid disorders can mimic several other health conditions, making them more difficult to diagnose,” said Dr. Sheela Lohiya, Endocrinologist with Grandview Medical Group. “If you even suspect you might have a thyroid problem, consult with your primary care physician or endocrinologist as soon as possible.”

The most common thyroid conditions are known as hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism.

  • Hypothyroidism indicates an underactive thyroid gland – the most common thyroid disorder in older adults. Symptoms will vary, but often include fatigue, unexplained weight gain, increased cold sensitivity, constipation, joint and muscle pain, dry skin and depression.
  • Hyperthyroidism indicates an overactive thyroid gland, which is more common in people under age 50. Symptoms may include rapid heart rate, anxiety, insomnia, increased appetite, weight loss, diarrhea and excessive perspiration.
