- Yes. With the sluggishness, depression , tiredness and fuzzi headedness it is low thyroid. Get to a doctor, get a blood test for TSH,
- Yes, the fatigue, lethargy, and sluggishness that you describe are all classic presenting symptoms of hypothyroidism (low thyroid).
It is unlikely that you have an iodine deficiency (unless you live in a third-world country), so your thyroid may be under-producing thyroid hormone, or due to some other cause. You should see your doctor about determining the cause, and appropriate treatment.
- More like a lack of iodine in the diet, get u some Kelp tablets and thyroid will be a thing of the past.
