Hyperthyroidism

Hyperthyroidism is a condition where the thyroid gland produces excessive thyroid hormones, leading to an overactive metabolism. This can affect multiple body systems and cause various symptoms.

Causes & Risk Factors

• Graves’ Disease – An autoimmune disorder that stimulates excess thyroid hormone production.

• Toxic Multinodular Goiter – Enlargement of the thyroid with multiple nodules producing extra hormones.

• Thyroiditis – Inflammation of the thyroid, which can cause temporary hyperthyroidism.

• Excessive Iodine Intake – Overconsumption of iodine-rich foods or supplements can trigger hyperthyroidism.

• Pituitary Disorders – Rare cases where the pituitary gland overstimulates the thyroid.

Symptoms of Hyperthyroidism

• Unexplained weight loss despite a good appetite

• Rapid or irregular heartbeat (palpitations)

• Excessive sweating and heat intolerance

• Anxiety, nervousness, and irritability

• Tremors (shaking hands or fingers)

• Increased bowel movements or diarrhea

• Sleep disturbances (insomnia)

• Bulging eyes (in Graves’ disease)

• Fatigue and muscle weakness

• Thinning hair and brittle nails
