6 signs you have Hashimoto's disease or chronic thyroiditis
Hashimoto's disease or also known as Hashimoto's thyroiditis is an autoimmune disease, a disorder where the immune system turns against the body's own tissues. In people with Hashimoto's, the immune system attacks the thyroid. This can lead to hypothyroidism in the sufferer, a condition in which the thyroid does not produce enough hormones for the body's needs.
The thyroid gland produces hormones that control metabolism. This includes your heart rate and how quickly your body processes the food you eat.
