Health Tips - Hyperthyroid Symptoms

 
hyperthyroid symptoms

There are at least two cases when a body can have too much thyroid hormone. A thyroid can simply be putting out too much of it. Or, if a person is taking thyroid medication, the dosage can be too high.

Both of these situations can be quickly corrected, if someone recognizes the signs. Here are a few of those symptoms:

  • Heart racing or palpitations
  • Anxiety or nervousness
  • Aggressiveness or irritability
  • Difficulty sleeping or relaxing
  • Tremors, trembling, weakness
  • Weight loss
  • Bowel movements more frequent
  • Overheating or unusual sweating

Suggestions

  1. Check your heart rate for one minute. If it is often at 100 or over, see me or your general practitioner as soon as possible.
  2. Test your thyroid function levels for $26.00, using the home blood tests here. I can help you understand what to do with those results with a phone consultation.
  3. Decrease all caffeine sources gradually, so that you are off within one week.

For your peaceful hormone levels!
