You should have hypothyroid symptoms if you are not on medication or if your medication is not enough.  Some symptoms are feeling tired and sluggish, feeling very cold, dry skin, dry brittle nails, sometimes red palms, orange or rusty color on the bottom of your feet, weight gain, depression.  These are just a few you may not have all of them but some.  This depends on how low your thyroid becomes....
