Chronic Lymphocytic Thyroiditis - Hashimoto's Thyroiditis


Symptoms & Signs

What are the signs and symptoms of the disease?

Symptoms of Hashimoto thyroiditis may include:

  • an enlarged thyroid gland
  • constipation
  • depression
  • dry, rough skin
  • fatigue
  • slow heartbeat, known as bradycardia
  • weight gain for no apparent reason
  • Most people who have Hashimoto thyroiditis will have a low level of thyroid hormone. So, these symptoms are primarily related to this low level. Symptoms from low thyroid hormone are usually what cause a person to see the doctor.

    In other cases, the thyroid hormone level may be high, which causes almost opposite symptoms. For example:

  • weight loss
  • fast heartbeat
  • diarrhea
  • moist skin
