Of late, do you find yourself becoming very tired or sleepy without any particular reason? Do you feel that you cannot concentrate on your studies or work as well as before? If so, you should have your levels of thyroid hormone checked.
What is the thyroid? Though it is not as well known as the heart or stomach, the thyroid is a very important organ located in the neck, just below your Adam's apple, that produces the thyroid hormone.
This hormone regulates how the body uses and stores energy. Everybody should have a certain, precise level of thyroid hormone in their blood. You become sick if your thyroid gland produces either too much or too little.
