Hyperthyroidism is an overactive thyroid gland, and there are usually no signs in the early stages. If symptoms such as fear of heat, easy to sweat, irritability, overeating, and easy to be hungry appear, you usually already have hyperthyroidism.
Hyperthyroidism is a thyrotoxicosis caused by excessive secretion of thyroid hormones. Typical clinical manifestations include weight loss, hyperphagia, palpitations, arrhythmia, anxiety, lack of concentration, shaking hands, fear of heat, excessive sweating, etc. Laboratory tests show elevated thyroxine and triiodothyronine, and decreased thyrotropin. The presence of these manifestations and abnormal results usually suggests hyperthyroidism.
Patients with hyperthyroidism should not eat foods high in iodine, including seaweed, shrimp, shellfish, kelp, etc. Choose a high-protein, high-vitamin diet to supplement the daily high metabolic consumption and improve systemic nutrition. Appropriate restriction of foods containing much dietary fiber to avoid aggravating diarrhea. It can be treated by anti-thyroid drugs, such as methimazole, or iodine 131, and surgery.
Patients with hyperthyroidism are advised to consult an endocrinologist for standardized treatment under the guidance of a physician.
