What are the symptoms of hyperthyroidism?

Answer by  HelpChat (494)

The thyroid is a major part of the endocrine system (which controls your hormones), particularly those related to metabolism--how much energy you have and how quickly you burn calories. Higher thyroid activity is associated with higher energy and lower weight. It's not fatal but should be managed with a doctor.

This is an over active thyroid. You can lose a lot of weight and be nervous and sometimes have heart palpitations. Thyroid trouble can be fatal if left untreated.

Some symptoms include feeling, weak, moody or tired, hand tremors, irregular heartbeat, difficulty breathing, frequent sweating, red itchy skin, fine hair fallout, and unexplained weight loss even when maintaining a normal eating routine.

A major sign of hyperthyroidism is increased appetite yet weight loss. Hyperthyroidism can also cause heat intolerance, diarrhea, and fatigue.
