To determine whether you have hyperthyroidism, you can judge from the presence of clinical manifestations and signs of hyperthyroidism, and whether the level of thyroid hormones is normal.
1. Clinical manifestations and signs: Due to the high metabolic state of hyperthyroidism, patients with hyperthyroidism may have symptoms such as fear of heat, excessive sweating, palpitations, shaking hands, diarrhea, hyperphagia, irritability, insomnia, irritability, etc., which may be accompanied by enlargement of the thyroid gland.
2. Thyroid hormone level: Thyroid function test is needed to observe whether the thyroid hormone level in the blood is elevated or not, and whether the thyroid stimulating hormone level is decreased or not. If free triiodothyronine and free thyroxine increase and thyrotropin decreases, hyperthyroidism is indicated.
Patients suspected of having hyperthyroidism should go to the hospital and ask a professional doctor to confirm the diagnosis and standardize the treatment under the doctor’s guidance.
