Hypothyroidism is primarily caused by insufficient secretion of thyroid hormones in the body, leading to reduced metabolic function and a range of clinical symptoms. Excessive fatigue may exacerbate the condition. We recommend that you promptly undergo retesting of thyroid hormone levels. Once results are available, your medication dosage should be adjusted accordingly. In daily life, consume more vegetables and fruits, as well as foods rich in high-quality protein and vitamins. Avoid excessive fatigue and staying up late.
