All About Tenerife: Do you have an under-active thyroid?

An underactive thyroid, also called hypothyroidism, means your thyroid gland does not produce enough chemicals called hormones.

Common signs of an underactive thyroid are tiredness, weight gain and feeling depressed.

An underactive thyroid is not usually serious. It can often be treated successfully by taking daily hormone tablets to replace the hormones your thyroid isn’t making.
