Underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism): the signs, getting a diagnosis, treatment, and taking the medicine

For anyone just told they have hypothyroidism or Hashimoto’s disease, anyone tired, cold and wondering about their thyroid, anyone starting or changing thyroid medicine, anyone pregnant with a thyroid problem, and anyone caring for someone with one. The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK, part of the NIH) says hypothyroidism is when the thyroid gland does not make enough thyroid hormones to meet the body’s needs; that nearly 5 out of 100 Americans ages 12 and older have it; and that it most likely can be completely controlled with thyroid hormone medicine taken as instructed. This page passes on, by name, what NIDDK says: the signs, who gets it and the causes, the blood tests, the medicine and the follow-up tests, and what food, iodine and pregnancy have to do with it. It builds the words to say to a doctor, and prints a card to keep.

Right now

  • Someone very hard to wake, newly confused, or passing out, or chest pain: call 911 (ours). NIDDK says myxedema coma, a rare extreme form of untreated hypothyroidism, requires immediate medical treatment.
  • A racing or pounding heart, shakiness, or trouble sleeping after a dose change? Call your doctor, and if you cannot reach them, go to urgent care (ours). NIDDK says too much thyroid hormone medicine can cause serious problems.
  • Pregnant and taking thyroid medicine? NIDDK says to contact your doctor right away: many women need a higher dose during pregnancy.
  • Low mood turning into thoughts of suicide? Call or text 988, any hour (ours).

More help

General information from people who care, not medical advice. We are not doctors or nurses. Only a health care provider can diagnose hypothyroidism, find its cause, read your test results, and set or change your dose, and this page cannot. This guide names one medicine, the one NIDDK names, and no brand and no amount of any medicine. In an emergency, call 911.

This page and its wording were written with AI (Claude) for Scarlet Beast (our AI policy). No doctor or nurse has reviewed it. The facts were read on October 16, 2026 on two NIDDK pages (NIH): Hypothyroidism (Underactive Thyroid) (last reviewed March 2021) and Hashimoto’s Disease (last reviewed June 2021). Ours: calling 911 for someone very hard to wake, newly confused, or passing out, or for chest pain; calling the doctor for a racing or pounding heart, shakiness or trouble sleeping after a dose change; 988 for thoughts of suicide; asking the pharmacist about a missed dose or pills that look different, and not doubling up, skipping or changing doses on your own; calling back the same day about a newborn test; the questions to ask at a visit; health centers and medicine costs when money is tight; and the order of the steps. What we left out: brand names, doses, other thyroid medicines, test number ranges, how many times more common Hashimoto’s is in women (NIDDK’s English and Spanish pages give different figures), research studies, and clinical pages for providers. This page saves nothing and loads no trackers.
