As everyone said, it could be just another sign of hypothyroidism, but it could also be a sign of anemia, so don't assume it's your thyroid before getting some bloodwork done. keep us posted!

It can possibly be due to uncontrolled hypothyroidism. Are you taking any thyroid hormone replacement medication?

Yes. I have hypothyroidism and I believe this is the cause.
