hypothyroidism

Hypothyroidism is usually caused by Hashimoto’s disease. The thyroid gland doesn’t produce enough thyroid hormone, which slows down the body’s metabolism. If you’re a “hypo,” you may experience weight gain, increased sensitivity to cold, dry skin and hair, slow pulse, low blood pressure, constipation, depressed mood, muscle aches/weakness, hair loss, low energy, and all kinds of sluggishness.
