Thyroid Care: What Are The Symptoms Of Hyperthyroidism?
Curejoy Expert Dr.Janardhana Hebbar Explains:
If you have hyperthyroidism, your body produces excessive amounts of thyroid hormones called T3 and T4. Since these hormones regulate your metabolism, having excessive amounts of these hormones will cause symptoms related to a high metabolism. In essence, hyperthyroidism speeds up some of your body’s processes.
However, not everyone with hyperthyroidism will experience all of the symptoms listed below. These are all the possible symptoms, but symptoms will vary based on how long your thyroid gland has been producing excessive T3 and T4, how much more T3 and T4 you have, and your age.
