Overview
Patients of euthyroid sick syndrome present with serious illness and are febrile with hypermetabolism. In euthyroid sick syndrome the symptoms of the underlying condition may overlap with features of hypothyroidism. Generally it takes atleast 2-3 weeks for thyroid hormone levels to decline and symptoms of hypothyroidism takes even longer period for expression. Recent evidence has shown that subclinical hypothyroidism may have various consequences, such as hyperlipidemia, increased risk of cardiovascular disease (even heart failure), somatic and neuromuscular symptoms, infertility, and other complications.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]
The common symptoms and signs of clinical hypothyroidism are listed in the table below. The appearance of symptoms depends on the degree of hypothyroidism severity:
