Constipation is one of the signs/symptoms of hypothyroidism and many people do suffer with it but, of course, we don't get all of the symptoms so you just must be lucky!

No not everybody gets every symptom. My biggest symptom is sore throat and a husky voice which sometimes disappears completely. It doesn't seem to come up as a symptom often.

You need to learn what your individual symptoms mean for you.
