  • Continuous dieting and preoccupation with food
  • Sensitivity to cold
  • Cold hands and feet
  • Compulsive or excessive exercise
  • Dizziness or fainting
  • Hair loss
  • Abnormal weight loss
  • Slow heart rate
  • Absent or irregular menstruation (females)
  • Excessive facial/body hair
  • Swollen salivary glands
  • Lack of energy/tiredness
