The Thyroid affects your whole body. If not treated, it can lead to heart attack or stroke.
The symptoms for Hypothyroidism are:

To diagnose hypothyroidism is easy. Your doctor will do a simple blood test to measure your T4 and T3. Then if it comes back that you have hypothyroidism you will need to take medication for the rest of your life. That doesn't seem too hard, except for you have to make sure you dont' take it, with calcium or iron supplements.
