Answer:
Hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) is a condition in which your thyroid gland doesn't produce enough of certain important hormones.
Women, especially those older than 50, are more prone to have hypothyroidism. Hypothyroidism upsets the normal balance of chemical reactions in your body. It seldom causes symptoms in the early stages, but over time, untreated hypothyroidism can cause a number of health problems, such as obesity, joint pain, infertility and heart disease.
SYMPTOMS:
At first, you might barely notice the symptoms of hypothyroidism, such as fatigue and sluggishness, or you might simply attribute them to getting older. But as your metabolism continues to slow, you may develop more obvious signs and symptoms. Hypothyroidism symptom may include:
Fatigue
Sluggishness
Increased sensitivity to cold
Constipation
Pale, dry skin
A puffy face
Hoarse voice
An elevated blood cholesterol level
Unexplained weight gain
Muscle aches, tenderness and stiffness
Pain, stiffness or swelling in your joints
Muscle weakness
Heavier than normal menstrual periods
Brittle fingernails and hair
Depression
hope that answers your question

coarse, dry hair
hair loss
intolerance of cold weather
muscle cramps and aches
constipation
depression
irritability
among others.
The opposite of this would be hyperthyroidism. That would be too much thyroid hormone. Think hyper=lots. They would be very skinny from an onlookers perspective and also have other medical problems.
