Sleepy, no energy, kind of a foggy mind, constipated, irritible, feeling cold. I'm 15 years old and yes im overweight. Told my parents today, they made an appointment tuesday. What could it possibly be? whats wrong with me? Thyroid? Blood sugar? hmm..

Answer:

while those are some of the symptoms of a low thyroid,,, along with very dry skin, they also can be symptoms of something else,,,, the doctor should do a complete blood work up, that includes a thyroid and sugar test, along with many others,,,,,, while it not usual to have a thyroid problem develop so young, it is possible,,,,,, as to overweight, are you also not getting enough exercise? even if just walking? that can also cause these symptoms, as you reach your teen years, you most likely dont "play" ,run around like you did as a child,,,,

allergies can affect you like this, so can a poor diet, if you dont eat a really balanced diet, you should be taking a daily vitamin, like a One a day for Women

i would say, just wait and discuss this with the doctor, hopefully he will order the blood test, if not, discuss that with your parents,,,,, perhaps look up online the blood test, its called something like "complete blood workup",,, they only take blood once, but test it for alot of things,,


Could be thyroid - you'll drive yourself crazy trying to guess, so why not try to relax and enjoy the weekend! You'll find out soon enough, and hopefully the doctor will be able to help you feel better quickly!
