Since the introduction of iodized salt in the 90's, cases of iodine deficiency have went down considerably. However, findings reveal that thyroid problems are set to increase over the years because many people are opting for natural salts that doesn't contain iodine in their meals and diets. Before you dash off to your neighborhood health stores to buy some iodine supplements, do a simple self check to see whether you are deficient in iodine by taking the following steps:
1) Begin by feeling the front of your neck and check out whether is it swollen or feeling painful when you gently press it. One of the most common symptoms of people who are seriously deficient in iodine has an enlarged thyroid gland and it can be fairly obvious because it's protruding out. Also called a goiter, this kind of swelling happens frequently to population in Asian countries where the soil is already depleted of iodine and iodized salt is not common there.
2) Monitor for any difficulty in swallowing food for 1 week because there are some cases where the swollen goiter protrudes inwards instead of outwards. It presses against the esophagus, causing a slight obstruction when you try to swallow anything.
3) You should check out the sound of your breathing especially you are resting on the bed. The pressure on the windpipe caused by the swollen thyroid gland can result in noisier breathing patterns and even snoring at night. Sometimes you can feel that there's something in your throat that you want to cough out but you just can't.
4) People who are deficient in iodine often experiences muscle fatigue, depression, intolerance to cold and always feeling tired. There are some cases when some people also experience a thinning of skin around eyebrows.
5) The most accurate way is to probably just go for a thyroid scan by your doctor to determine whether the swelling is caused by the swollen thyroid gland or something else. If it really is a swollen gland, a biopsy test will further confirm your deficiency in iodine.
