Could I have a thyroid problem?

Hypothyroidism typically affects women over 60 but I was wondering I it is possible that I have it at age 17??? I have the following symptoms but idk if they are unrelated or not
Depression
Extreme fatigue regardless of amount of sleep
Dry brittle hair
I have been overweight my entire life and was obese at age 16 but I have dedicated myself to losing weight and have since lost 50 pounds

Why Losing Weight Fast is Bad!

Recommended Answer:
The extreme fatigue and dry hair could also be a sign that you are NOT eating correctly.

Ask your Doctor for a blood test for thyroid. Its simple, quick and will make many other possible causes visible.

Take care and feel better soon.

• Yes it does. Where did you hear it only affects women over 60? That''s bull. I have it an I not 60. So go to doc an get checked. It can cause a lot of problems if left unchecked.
