Hypothyroidism can occur at this age. By 10points, may be you mean your TSH or thyroid stimulating hormone is high. This means that your Thyrpid glsnd is not secreting enougb thyroxinn, and TSH is hypersecteting in order to stimulate your failing Thyroid gland to secrete more Thyroxin. Thyroxin boosts yoir metsbolism and give you energy. The gland msy fail IG itis srlf destroyed by auto immune disesse or Thytoid antibodies.

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. Why hypothyroidism has occurred is difficult to answer. The usual reasons for that disease to occur are: if there is deficiency of Iodine intake, (this in now taken care because of iodinated salt). There may be a familial tendancy, as disease is observed in that fashion. There may be an autoimmune problem also. This can occur at any age. Now a days it is quite often seen in younger age group. Please remember this is a comparatively a simple condition, because taking adequate amount of levothyroxine regularly takes care of all symptoms. Thanks. Thanks.
