Overview

Hyperthyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland produces excessive thyroid hormones. This accelerates metabolism and increases body activity levels. The condition can affect heart rate, body temperature, and energy levels. It may develop gradually or suddenly. Hyperthyroidism is more common in women. Persistent hormone excess can strain the heart and other organs. Symptoms vary in severity. Early detection helps prevent complications. Continuous monitoring ensures proper control.

Excess thyroid hormones increase metabolic rate. The heart beats faster, and energy consumption rises. This leads to increased sweating, weight loss, and nervousness. Prolonged hormone excess may affect heart rhythm.

Diagnosis

Diagnosis is based on blood tests measuring TSH, T3, and T4 levels. Low TSH with elevated thyroid hormones confirms hyperthyroidism. Imaging studies may assess gland activity.
