Increased secretion of thyroid hormones in patients with hyperthyroidism causes sympathetic nerve excitation and exuberant metabolism, which can lead to short temper and irritability. Hyperthyroidism should be actively treated with medication, radioactive iodine therapy, surgery, and lifestyle intervention.
The full name of hyperthyroidism is hyperthyroidism, which is an endocrine disease in which the thyroid gland synthesizes and releases too much thyroid hormone, causing an increase in sympathetic nervous system excitability and hypermetabolism.
1. Medication: Commonly used antithyroid drugs, such as methimazole, propylthiouracil, to inhibit the secretion of thyroid hormones, but also the application of propranolol and other β-blockers, to improve the symptoms of irritability.
2. Radioactive iodine therapy: radioactive iodine therapy can be used for those who have drug contraindications and are not suitable for surgery.
3. Surgery: Surgery can be performed if the thyroid gland is obviously enlarged and severe hyperthyroidism is present.
4. Lifestyle Intervention: Avoid iodine-rich foods, such as seaweed and kelp, and try to keep a happy mood, do not give yourself too much pressure and burden. It is also recommended that patients with hyperthyroidism consume high-protein, high-calorie and high-vitamin foods to compensate for their consumption and improve the nutritional status of the whole body. Appropriately restrict foods containing much dietary fiber to avoid aggravating diarrhea.
Patients with hyperthyroidism temper tantrums and irritability should go to the hospital and be treated under the guidance of a doctor.
