Hyperthyroidism is a condition where the thyroid gland, located in your neck, produces too much thyroid hormone. This can accelerate your body’s metabolism, causing a variety of symptoms. While it can affect anyone, it is more commonly seen in women, particularly those aged 20 to 40.
Symptoms of Hyperthyroidism
The excess thyroid hormone can lead to various physical and mental symptoms, including:
Increased heart rate or palpitations
Unexplained weight loss
Increased appetite
Nervousness, anxiety, or irritability
Heat intolerance and excessive sweating
Tremors (shaking hands)
Fatigue or muscle weakness
Menstrual changes, such as lighter periods
Sleep disturbances
Enlarged thyroid gland (goiter)
Causes of Hyperthyroidism
The most common causes of hyperthyroidism include:
Graves' Disease: An autoimmune disorder where the immune system attacks the thyroid, leading to overproduction of hormones.
Thyroid Nodules: Abnormal growths on the thyroid that can produce excess hormones.
Thyroiditis: Inflammation of the thyroid that can cause the release of stored thyroid hormone.
Excessive iodine: In rare cases, consuming too much iodine (from supplements or food) can trigger overproduction.
Diagnosis
Blood tests: Measuring levels of thyroid hormones (T3, T4) and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH).
Radioactive iodine uptake test: A scan that shows how much iodine the thyroid absorbs.
Ultrasound: Used to detect thyroid nodules or enlargement.
