I am a 50 year old woman with high blood pressure. I am 5 11 and weigh 400 pounds. I am always hungry no matter what I eat or how much, 30 min. after eating I feel like I have not eaten all day. I am very tired all the time and my body tempter averages 94-95 degrees. My blood sugar is good. Can my weigh gain, tiredness, low body temp, and hunger be related to thyroid problems? Thank you for your help
Hello. Welcome to Chat Doctor. I read carefully your query. Yes, all your symptoms can be related to an underactive thyroid gland (Hypothyroidism). In this condition, thyroid gland doesn't produce enough thyroid hormones. I would suggest getting tested for hypothyroidism. You need to test thyroid function : fT3, fT4 and TSH. If fT3,fT4 are low and TSH is high, then you have hypothyroidism. Hope this helps. Kind regards, Chat Doctor.
