Thyroid Condition Life Insurance

Life Insurance Premiums can be affected if you have a thyroid condition. Each insurance company will have its own policies with regard to this and it can therefore be a daunting task to find the most affordable cover.

The level of premium for Life Insurance will depend on the type of Thyroid Condition you have been diagnosed with, and the level of symptoms that you are experiencing.

The two most commonly found thyroid disorders are Overactive Thyroid and Underactive Thyroid (Hypothyroidism).

Overactive Thyroid is a relatively common condition where the Thyroid releases too much hormone into the body. As a result of this a number of symptoms can occur, some of which are:

• Hyperactivity (Where a person becomes restless and cannot sit still)
• Weight Loss
• Swelling of the Thyroid Gland
• Anxiety & Nervousness
• Insomnia
• Muscle Weakness

In the case of underactive Thyroid, your Thyroid gland does not produce enough hormones for your body. As you might imagine, this will have the opposite effects to having an overactive thyroid. Things such as:

• Weight gain
• Tiredness
• Depression
• Muscle Aches, Weakness and Cramps
• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
• Dry & Scaly Skin

The NHS have a huge amount of information relating to both Underactive and Overactive Thyroid Conditions.

It is because of these associated symptoms that Life Insurance providers may increase your premiums. However, if you and your GP are happy that your condition is well controlled with no serious complications, Life Insurance providers will often be happy to offer you cover on normal rates.
