A. Hi Shashank, Hair fall is frequently associated with thyroid and is a common symptom of it. Hyperthyroidism (an overactive thyroid) releases many hormones into the body. The body burns too much energy because of this and often results into thinning of hair. Your hair becomes brittle which leads to constant breakage and damage.

Deepti

A. Exercising is your key to keep your weight balanced.

Onlymyhealth Team

A. Dear Sahil, The unexpected gain in weight and difficulty in shedding it is one of the first noticeable signals of hypothyroidism. If the thyroid is not able to produce hormones, or the body has difficulty using the thyroid hormones, either way, the body’s metabolic rate slows down. Whatever has not been metabolized, gets stored as fat in the body hence, resulting into weight gain.
