Is it normal to be diagnosed with an underactive thyroid in 20s?
I recently found out my thyroid is slightly underactive. Hypothyroidism runs in my Dad's family and my Mom was also recently diagnosed with hypothyroidism. Also, I don't exhibit hardly any of the symptoms associated with hypothyroidism. However, I am tired a lot, and I know feeling fatigued is a common symptom. However, I've also read that people with an underactive thyroid gain weight, but I have trouble gaining weight and am very thin. Anyway, my question is do you think it's unusual to have an underactive thyroid at my age[I'm 27] and also, do you think it's unusual I don't have hardly any of the symptoms associated with hypothyroidism? Thank you.
