hypothyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid gland does not make enough thyroid hormone. the most common cause of thyroid gland failure is called autoimmune thyroiditis a form of thyroid inflammation caused by the patient's own immune system.
hypothyroidism. i just had my blood works done and my doctor saw that my calcium levels are slightly above my normal range. my potassium has been low for quite some time now as well. for the past 5 to 6 years i have been feeling tired intermittently. i don't sleep well and when i wake up (even with 8 hours of sleep) i don't feel rested. also i've noticed that i've been having low-grade fever. i seem to be more sensitive to cold weather. i noticed also that i can feel some hot areas on my skin.
