To mark World Thyroid Day, an expert has encouraged people to look out for the common signs they themselves could have the disease and has warned them not to ignore these tell-tale symptoms.
Your thyroid gland is an endocrine gland found in your neck that creates thyroxine and triiodothyronine, two hormones responsible for controlling vital bodily functions, including energy levels, weight regulation, internal temperature, and metabolism.
Low or high levels of these all-important hormones may result in thyroid disease, which can be characterised by an underactive or overactive thyroid.
