Be careful of the thyroid gland emitting an alarm signal

During the transition between spring and summer, temperatures fluctuate rapidly and air pressure fluctuates noticeably. Many people experience sub-health symptoms such as insomnia, palpitations, weight fluctuations, and neck tightness. Many people only treat it as an ordinary seasonal reaction, unaware that these seemingly insignificant symptoms may be health warnings issued by the thyroid gland.
