Common Thyroid Symptoms

Are You Experiencing Any of These?

Thyroid symptoms build slowly and are easy to mistake for stress, ageing or a busy schedule. A simple evaluation can tell you whether your thyroid is the reason.

Underactive thyroid (Hypothyroidism)

Often linked to high TSH

  • Constant tiredness, even after a full night of sleep
  • Weight gain that does not match your diet
  • Hair fall, thinning hair, dry skin, brittle nails
  • Feeling cold when everyone else is comfortable
  • Puffiness around the face and eyes
  • Constipation, low mood, poor concentration
  • Heavy or irregular periods, difficulty conceiving

Overactive thyroid (Hyperthyroidism)

Often linked to low TSH

  • Weight loss despite a normal or increased appetite
  • Palpitations, a racing or irregular heartbeat
  • Feeling hot, sweating more than usual
  • Anxiety, restlessness, trembling hands
  • Difficulty sleeping
  • Loose stools or more frequent bowel movements
  • Gritty, bulging or watering eyes

If you experience one or more of these symptoms, consider a specialist evaluation.

Conditions We Evaluate & Manage

Thyroid Care, From First Test to Long-Term Control

01

Hypothyroidism

An underactive thyroid with high TSH. Hormone replacement is started at the right dose, then titrated and monitored so levels stay stable.

02

Hyperthyroidism

An overactive thyroid with low TSH. Cause is identified first, then medical management, symptom control and structured monitoring.

03

Hashimoto's thyroiditis

The most common autoimmune cause of hypothyroidism in India. TPO antibody testing confirms it, and long-term management protects thyroid function.

04

Graves' disease

Autoimmune hyperthyroidism, often with eye symptoms. Evaluated, medically managed, and referred for definitive therapy when that is the right step.

05

Subclinical thyroid disease

TSH is abnormal but hormone levels are still normal. We assess whether treatment is needed now or whether monitoring is the safer choice.

06

Thyroid nodules & goitre

Clinical examination and risk assessment. Ultrasound and biopsy are arranged through partner centres, with surgical referral where indicated.

07

Thyroid in pregnancy & fertility

Thyroid targets are tighter in pregnancy. We manage pre-conception planning, pregnancy monitoring and postpartum thyroiditis.

08

Thyroid with diabetes, PCOS or obesity

Thyroid rarely travels alone. Our specialty is the metabolic picture around it, so all of it is managed together rather than in separate clinics.

Understanding Your Report

Your TSH Is Abnormal. What Does It Actually Mean?

TSH is the signal your brain sends to your thyroid. When the thyroid underperforms, the signal gets louder. When it overperforms, the signal goes quiet. That is why TSH moves in the opposite direction to what most people expect.

HIGH TSH

The thyroid is underactive

Your body is shouting at a thyroid that is not producing enough hormone. Left unmanaged over years, this can affect cholesterol, heart function, fertility and mood.

  • Usually points to hypothyroidism
  • Hashimoto's thyroiditis is the most common cause
  • Needs free T4 and TPO antibody testing to confirm
  • Managed with hormone replacement, titrated to your levels
LOW TSH

The thyroid is overactive

Your body has stopped signalling because there is already too much hormone in circulation. This one carries cardiac and bone risk if it is left alone.

  • Usually points to hyperthyroidism
  • Graves' disease, thyroiditis or a nodule may be the cause
  • Needs free T3, free T4 and antibody testing to confirm
  • Managed medically, with referral for definitive treatment if needed

A single abnormal TSH is not a diagnosis. Interpretation depends on your free T4, free T3, antibodies, symptoms, medications and, for women, pregnancy status. Bring your reports and we will read them with you.

Thyroid Disorders in Women

Weight That Will Not Shift. Hair That Will Not Stop Falling.

Thyroid disease is far more common in women, and the symptoms are routinely put down to stress, motherhood or a desk job. If you have been told your reports are fine but you do not feel fine, it is worth a proper look.

01

Thyroid weight gain

An underactive thyroid slows your metabolic rate, so the same diet produces more weight. Correcting thyroid levels does not replace nutrition and activity, but without it, nothing else works properly.

02

Hair fall due to thyroid

Both underactive and overactive thyroid disrupt the hair growth cycle, producing diffuse thinning across the scalp rather than patches. Regrowth follows stable hormone levels, and it takes months, not weeks.

03

Periods, fertility and pregnancy

Thyroid dysfunction affects cycle regularity, ovulation and pregnancy outcomes. Targets in pregnancy are tighter than the standard reference range, which is why pre-conception testing matters.

04

Thyroid and PCOS

Hypothyroidism and PCOS overlap frequently and share symptoms: weight gain, irregular cycles, hair changes. Treating one while ignoring the other is why so many women stay stuck.

Why Boston Diabetes?

A metabolic specialty centre, not a general clinic. Thyroid disease rarely arrives on its own — we are built for exactly that overlap.

Endocrinology-led advisory

Protocols reviewed by Dr. Ashok Kadambi, MD, FACE — a board-certified endocrinologist and Fellow of the American College of Endocrinology.

Structured follow-up

Thyroid management is dose titration over months. We schedule the repeat testing rather than leaving you to remember it.

The whole metabolic picture

Thyroid, diabetes, weight, cholesterol and PCOS assessed together, by one team, in one place.

Coordinated diagnostics

Testing is advised, arranged and interpreted by your specialist through partner diagnostic centres, so nothing is ordered without a reason.

Day-care medical model

Outpatient and day care only. You come in, you are evaluated, you go home with a plan. No admissions, no waiting for beds.

Gachibowli location

On Lumbini Avenue, minutes from the IT corridor, with parking available. Built for people who cannot take a full day off work.
