Effect of reduced movement on thyroid activity
Posted , 2 users are following.
Hello,
During COVID, my activity has changed significantly. All the work I do is from home so, even though I exercise, I have less movement and social exposure over the last 5 months.
Do you know how does a reduced physical activity reflect on the activity of thyroid in a healthy person?
I am asking for the following reason. I take thyroxine pills. Recently, I did a blood test and discussed with my endocrinologist, and we slightly reduced the dosage of thyroxine I usually take. So, I am wondering how much this can be related to my reduced physical activity.
I did find on the web that physical activity has effect on thyroid, but I could find any quantification. For instance, if a person takes 50 micro-grams of thyroxine per day, by roughly how much should reduce the dose if physical activity gets significantly reduced?
Best,

Since you take thyroxine, you must have hypothyroidism. So you are in wrong forum of hyperthyroidism. Moving to Hypothyroidism forum will get you right answer more quickly. GL
