Hyperthyroidism is a condition caused by the effects of too much thyroid hormone on tissues of the body. You may have no symptoms at all, but the most common symptoms of hyperthyroidism people experience are:
- nervousness, fatigue, trembling hands;
- heat intolerance;
- palpitations;
- insomnia;
- breathlessness;
- weight loss;
- light or absent menstrual periods;
- increased bowel movements.
Although there are several causes of hyperthyroidism, most of the symptoms patients experience are the same regardless of the cause. Having too much thyroid hormone can make a lot of things in your body speed up. Because the body’s metabolism is increased, patients often feel hotter than those around them and can slowly lose weight even though they may be eating more. Hyperthyroidism is easily treated. With treatment, you can lead a healthy life. Without treatment, hyperthyroidism can lead to serious heart problems, bone problems, and a dangerous condition called thyroid storm.
