Thyroid Disorders

Low thyroid levels can lead to weight gain and difficulty losing weight, fatigue, fluid retention, brain fog, dry skin, hair thinning and joint pains.

​

High thyroid levels can lead to weight loss, fast pulse rate and anxiety.

​

Dr Salmond has a special interest in borderline low thyroid issues where the levels may be within normal but at the low end and the patient is complaining of symptoms.

​

Investigations will be done to ascertain the underlying cause of abnormal or borderline thyroid function. Management will be aimed at treating the underlying cause of the thyroid dysfunction.

​

This can include low iodine and other minerals, toxicity and imbalance of other hormones.
