Hyperthyroidism
Hyperthyroidism is when your thyroid gland, located at the front of your neck, produces too much thyroid hormone,
causing your metabolism to speed up. Hyperthyroidism has three forms that share several symptoms. The most common form is Graves' disease. Hyperthyroidism can also be caused by taking too much thyroid hormone when you are being treated for hypothyroidism. Hyperthyroidism is more common in women than men and usually occurs between the ages of 20 - 40. It often starts after times of extreme stress or during pregnancy.
Signs and Symptoms
- Rapid heart rate and palpitations
- Shortness of breath
- Goiter (swelling of the thyroid gland)
- Moist skin and increased perspiration
- Shakiness and tremor
- Anxiety
- Increased appetite accompanied by weight loss
- Insomnia
- Swollen, reddened, and bulging eyes (in Graves' disease)
- Occasionally, raised, thickened skin over the shins, back of feet, back, hands, or even face
- In crisis: fever, very rapid pulse, agitation, and possibly delirium
- Changes in menstrual periods
What Causes It?
Researchers suspect that Graves' disease (the most common form of hyperthyroidism) is caused by an antibody that mistakenly stimulates the thyroid to produce too much hormone. Toxic nodular goiter is caused by a non- cancerous tumor in nodules that make up the thyroid gland. Secondary hyperthyroidism results when a gland called the pituitary overrides the thyroid's normal instructions, and orders it to make too much thyroid hormone.
