Thyrotoxicosis- What do you need to know and doctors don't have time to tell you?

Thyrotoxicosis or Hyperthyroidism is the clinical syndrome caused by an excess of circulating free thyroxine and free triiodothyronine, (FT3 and FT4) or both. It is common, affecting about 2% of women and 0.2% of men. (For more information about test- TSH, FT3, FT4- check here>>>>>
