The major problem when it comes to thyroid functioning illness is that your body stops working properly. This is because of the close connection that this gland has with the whole body.

Like any other body gland, the thyroid secretes hormones of vital importance.T3 and T4 (the names of these hormones come from the content of iodine atoms) regulate functions of the body, such as temperature, energy consumption, and heart rate.
