Hyperthyroidism Symptoms, Treatment & Alternative Solutions. New options, New Approach.... Hyperthyroidism is the result of excess thyroid hormone production, causing an overactive metabolism and increased speed of all the body's processes. Thyroid hormone generally controls the pace of all of the processes in the body. This pace is called your metabolism. If there is too much thyroid hormone, every function of the body tends to speed up. The thyroid gland regulates the body temperature by secreting two hormones that control how quickly the body burns calories and energy. If the thyroid produces too much hormone, the condition is called hyperthyroidism, but if too little is produced the result is hypothyroidism. Hyperthyroidism symptoms
Although the exact cause is not known, hyperthyroidism usually begins slowly and unexpectedly. At first, the symptoms may be mistaken for simple nervousness due to stress. Stress is the only known reason that may trigger hyperthyroidism. Accordingly, treating the reason will eventually improve your hyperthyroid condition. In Graves’ disease, which is the most common reason of hyperthyroidism (in 70% of the cases), however it is not the only one. The eyes may look enlarged because the upper lids are elevated. Sometimes, one or both eyes may bulge. Some patients have swelling of the front of the neck from an enlarged thyroid gland (a goiter). How to diagnose Hyperthyroidism? The diagnosis will be confirmed by laboratory tests that measure the amount of thyroid hormones— thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3)—and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) in your blood. A high level of thyroid hormone in the blood plus a low level of TSH is common with an overactive thyroid gland. If blood tests show that your thyroid is overactive, your doctor may want to obtain a picture of your thyroid (a thyroid scan). The scan will find out if your entire thyroid gland is overactive or whether you have a toxic nodular goiter or thyroiditis (thyroid inflammation). A test that measures the ability of the gland to collect iodine may be done at the same time.
