Yes, you could be hypothyroid. Lethargy is a definite sign of it. You should go in and see your doctor and have them do a blood test for that.


If Hypothyroidism runs in your family, then it is very possible.





And, if you even have a doubt that you could be pregnant, and know you didn't use protection or something last time you had sex, then go get a pregnancy test just to be sure.





Hope this helps!I randomly started sleeping alot, and my nails are yellowish, im only 17, but could i have a thyroid prob?
Cause of yellow fingernails: An underlying medical problem.





Fingernails that are yellow can be an indication of a medical disorder in some cases. These include liver disease, lung disease, diabetes, kidney disease, and nutritional deficiencies, most notably iron and zinc. Although most cases of yellow nails are not caused by an internal disorder, underlying medical problems should be ruled out if your nails have suddenly changed in color. Simple blood tests can generally rule out most causes of yellow fingernails.





Cause of yellow fingernails: Nail fungus





One of the early signs of a nail fungal infection is a yellow or brown discoloration of the fingernails. Fungus once embedded under the nails can produce a variety of pigments which can color the nail yellow. Eventually, you may see more symptoms if the cause of your yellowing nails is fungal. These include flaking of the nail as well as an unpleasant odor as the fungus breaks down the components of the nail. If your fingernails are yellow due to a fungal infection, you'll want to see your doctor to get an oral antifungal medication. Over the counter and topical medications don't work as well as the ones your doctor can prescribe for you.





Cause of yellow fingernails: Smoking





Smoking can cause yellow fingernails. If you're a smoker and you've ruled out other medical conditions and the possibility of a fungal infection, chances are your smoking habit is the cause of your yellow fingernails. The ideal solution for both your nails and your general health would be to quit smoking.
Yes it could be a thyroid problem,





and no your period has nothing to do with it.
hi





how about your eye colour and urine colour ?





if you observe all three ( finger, eye %26amp; urine ) in yellow you need to check with your Dr. for Jaundice test.
