Question 5 • CA-Contemporary Health

Which is a common symptom that results from an overactive thyroid gland?

Answer
A
hair growth
B
weight loss
C
low insulin levels
D
onset of diabetes

Explanation

An overactive thyroid produces excess thyroid hormones, which speed up the body’s metabolism. This often causes weight loss, even when a person’s appetite is normal or increased. The correct choice is weight loss; hair growth, low insulin levels, and diabetes onset are not typical common symptoms of an overactive thyroid.
