The medical disorder known as hyperthyroidism results from too much thyroid hormone production by the thyroid gland; therefore, it hastens metabolism. This condition typically arises from Graves' disease, toxic multinodular goitre, or thyroiditis. Too much of hormones like thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) can change a lot of biological processes and cause symptoms like tremors, fast heartbeat, weight loss that you can't explain, increased appetite, nervousness, and too much sweating.
Sometimes, especially with Graves' illness, people may have exophthalmos—a disorder of protruding eyes. Menstrual abnormalities, heat sensitivity, and muscular weakness are further effects of hyperthyroidism. Untreated, it can cause serious problems, including thyroid storm, a life-threatening disorder marked by high temperature, severe tachycardia, and confusion.
Usually, blood tests tracking TSH, T3, and T4 levels confirm diagnosis. Antithyroid drugs, radioactive iodine treatment, or—in extreme cases—surgical removal of the thyroid gland are among the available therapies. Changes in lifestyle—such as a balanced diet and stress management—can help control symptoms. Prevention of problems and guarantees of efficient condition treatment depend on regular medical monitoring. See an endocrinologist for a correct diagnosis and a tailored treatment regimen.
