These are all signs of an underactive metabolism, but this is usually slightly easier to treat. While it can be hormone related, it can also be due to a lack of iodine in your diet. If you have these symptoms but can’t get to the doctors, try adding iodine rich foods such as seaweed, saltwater fish, soy milk or yoghurt to your diet, and seeing if there is an improvement.

Tiny lumps in the throat

Trouble swallowing
Occasionally these symptoms can occur, which usually indicates a condition called ‘Thyroid Nodules’. These are tiny lumps which grow inside the throat, which can cause trouble when swallowing, or occasionally breathing. If this occurs, get immediate medical help.
The cure for this metabolism problem is usually hormones, but some nodules may need surgical removal.
