Thyroid may cause tiredness, weight loss

06.01.10

(Jan 6, 2010)

Q: Lately I've been really tired, weak, hot and sweaty. I've also been losing weight despite eating as much as ever. Any idea what this could be?

A: Your symptoms sound like hyperthyroidism, which is an overactive thyroid.

Your thyroid is a gland just below your Adam's apple that is shaped like a butterfly. The hormones produced by the thyroid affect your metabolism, energy, muscle function, body weight, cholesterol levels and brain function, to name a few.

Other symptoms of hyperthyroidism include anxiety, shaking, hair loss, shortness of breath, trouble concentrating, frequent bowel movements, fast pulse/palpitations and trouble sleeping.

There are several causes of hyperthyroidism that result in too much thyroid hormone production or release from the gland. With Graves' disease, the thyroid gland enlarges (called a goitre) and makes excessive amounts of thyroid hormone.

Novel Approaches to Treating Hair Loss

by Jim DeSantis

Restoring the hair lost due to hereditary factors is the dream of many hair loss sufferers. Until not too long ago, the only effective and authentic-looking methods of reversing hair loss were non-surgical cover-ups. It was only with the advent of follicular unit transplantation and the discovery of the true cause of baldness - the harmful effects of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) on our hair follicles - that the hair-loss sufferer's chances of reversing hair loss naturally have greatly improved.

The three best weapons in the fight against hair loss today are the two FDA-approved medicinal drugs - finasteride (Propecia) and minoxidil (Rogaine) and hair surgery, the follicular unit transplantation and, especially, the follicular unit extraction technique. However, no ultimate cure exists yet as each of the three aforementioned hair restoration methods has its limitations. Minoxidil and finasteride work well only in the vertex area of the scalp, and finasteride cannot be used by women. Hair surgery is suitable only for people who have sufficient hair density in the donor area, and many women, who typically suffer from diffuse thinning, do not make good candidates for hair transplantation.
