Question

Answer 1

Hypothyroidism is the condition in which the TSH level increases but the hormone T​​​​_{​​​​​​3} and T_{​​​​​​4} level decreases hence the body functions reduces.Hypothyroidism cause the change in nervous system usually like the carpel tunnel syndrome it affects the facial nerve hence facial drooping present.Slows down the heart function hence bradycardia and low blood pressure present.To increase the hormone production the gland works more hence it larges and swells thus goiter occur.It cause the struggle between the hormone and the body organs hence it cause alteration in the brain and neurotransmitters hence mental changes occur.
