The difference between Hashimoto’s hyperthyroidism and common hyperthyroidism lies in the incidence, treatment options, and ultimate outcome of the disease.
1. Incidence: Generalized hyperthyroidism is generally referred to as Graves’ disease, which is the most common type of hyperthyroidism, and its incidence is higher than that of Hashimoto’s hyperthyroidism.
2. Treatment plan: ordinary hyperthyroidism should follow the doctor’s instructions to standardize the treatment of antithyroid drugs, such as propylthiouracil, methimazole, etc., iodine 131 treatment, surgical treatment; Hashimoto’s hyperthyroidism is the same as ordinary hyperthyroidism in general treatment, but if you do not actively treat it, it is easy to hypothyroidism, then it is necessary to use levothyroxine tablets instead of the treatment.
3. The final outcome of the disease: ordinary hyperthyroidism patients actively cooperate with the treatment, most patients can recover symptoms, poor control will evolve into a thyroid crisis; and Hashimoto hyperthyroidism may eventually develop into hypothyroidism.
It is recommended that patients with symptoms of hyperthyroidism, such as agitation, vasovagal tremor, sweating and other manifestations, go to the regular hospital in a timely manner.
