Hyperthyroidism Symptoms Causes and Treatment
If your thyroid produces and releases excessive
amounts of thyroid hormone, you have
hyperthyroidism, often known as an overactive
thyroid. Your metabolism may speed up as a result
of this disorder. Rapid heart rate, decreased
weight, increased appetite, and anxiety are all
symptoms of hyperthyroidism. Antithyroid
medications, radioactive iodine, beta-blockers,
and surgery are all options for hyperthyroidism tr
eatment. Signs of a Hyperthyroidism Hyperthyroid
ism can manifest in various ways, some readily
apparent to the naked eye, while other symptoms
can be more subtle and take some getting used to.
Occasionally, people will confuse the symptoms of
hyperthyroidism for those of worry. In addition
to other symptoms, it can also produce.

• Loss of weight accompanied by increased hunger
  and a racing or irregular heartbeat, feeling
  fatigued but unable to sleep due to nervousness
  or irritability.
• symptoms, including shaky hands, tired muscles,
  and frequent bathroom breaks.

• A goitre develops from an enlargement of the
  thyroid gland and may be bilateral or unilateral.
  A goitre is a gland that has grown to an abnormal
  size, and it usually presents as a swelling or
  protrusion at the front or side of the neck.
  Iodine deficiency is the leading reason why
  people develop goitres.
• There's also a chance your eyes will bulge or
  look larger than usual. As a symptom of Graves'
  illness, this condition is known medically as
  exophthalmos.
• Hair fragility and loss can be side effects of
  untreated, chronic thyroid illness.

In rare cases, hyperthyroidism can cause
irregular heartbeat, difficulty breathing, and
even loss of consciousness. Medical treatment is
required right away for these symptoms.
Causes of  Hyperthyroidism 
Graves' disease -The thyroid gland is the target
of the body's immune system in this condition.
Because of this, your thyroid will produce an
abundance of thyroid hormone. That Graves'
disease runs in families is a given (passed down
through a family). Graves' illness tends to run
in families, so if one member of your family has
it, you shouldn't rule out getting it yourself.
Women are more likely to experience this than men
because of their predetermined gender at birth.
Most occurrences of hyperthyroidism can be traced
back to Graves' disease.

Thyroid gland (nodules) - Thyroid nodules are
abnormal growths of thyroid cells. They are
capable of producing more hormones than the body
requires. Malignant nodules of the thyroid are
quite uncommon.
Thyroiditis - Inflammation of the thyroid gland,
also known as thyroiditis, can be quite
uncomfortable or completely painless, depending
on the individual (silent). In some cases, it can
occur as soon as a year after giving birth
(postpartum thyroiditis). You may develop
hypothyroidism if your thyroid does not fully
recover from thyroiditis.
5
An excessive intake of iodine- An overabundance
of iodine (through food or medicine) might
stimulate the thyroid into producing excess
thyroid hormone in those predisposed to
hyperthyroidism. Iodine is an essential mineral
for producing thyroid hormone in the thyroid
gland.
Treatment of Hyperthyroidism
Medication
Antithyroid drugs impede hormone production by
the thyroid. Methimazole (MMI) and
propylthiouracil are two examples of the
thionamide class of antithyroid medicines (PTU).
For decades, thionamides have been the treatment
of choice for hyperthyroidism since they are
well-established as safe for use in children and
adults, including pregnant women. Pain in the
joints, thinning hair, and rashes are some
unwanted side effects of antithyroid drugs.
Rarely, they may cause liver failure.
Radioactive iodine
Radioiodine, or more specifically radioactive
iodine (RAI), is used to kill thyroid
hormone-producing cells without harming other
organs or tissues in the body. It's typically
consumed in the form of a pill or a drink.

Patients treated with radioiodine for
hyperthyroidism typically experience the opposite
side effect, hypothyroidism. Treatment is
simpler, and all you need to do is take a thyroid
hormone tablet every day. Thyroid cancer is also
treatable with RAI, but at greater
dosages. Surgery A thyroidectomy is a surgery
in which all or part of the thyroid gland is
removed. Certain patients with hyperthyroidism
may benefit from this operation, albeit each case
is considered on its own merits. Patients who
don't respond to or cannot undergo alternative
treatments may be candidates for surgical
intervention. Thyroid ectomy surgery, like any
surgical procedure, can go wrong. Surgery in this
area is typically performed by an ENT (ear, nose,
and throat specialist) or a general surgeon.
