Temperature Regulation

Temperature Regulation
Feeling cold or having chills is associated with hypothyroidism. The system slow-down caused by an underactive thyroid means less energy is being burned by cells. Less energy equals less heat.

An overactive thyroid puts energy-producing cells into overdrive. People with hyperthyroidism sometimes feel too warm or sweat profusely.
