Hypothyroidism is when your thyroid gland doesn’t make enough of certain key hormones. Symptoms to watch for:
Shortness of breath during exerciseAlthough the condition usually affects adults, it can happen to kids, too. They have the same symptoms as grown-ups, but because thyroid hormones control growth, they frequently stop growing like they should. They may also reach puberty later. Adolescent girls could have problems with menstrual cycles, too.
Kids with hypothyroidism can also have problems with schoolwork, thanks to memory problems and fatigue. No matter how old you are, if you're having symptoms, see your doctor. They can prescribe medicine that will boost your levels and get you back to feeling like your old self.Johns Hopkins Children's Center:"Hypothyroidism."
