Hyperthyroidism, or hyperthyroidism, has a good prognosis for most patients after standardized treatment and is therefore generally not considered a serious illness.
Hyperthyroidism is caused by excessive production of thyroid hormones, and patients may experience symptoms such as irritability, lethargy, panic attacks, hand tremors, and thick necks, with increased basal metabolic rate and increased systemic excitability as the main symptoms.
For patients with hyperthyroidism, general treatment such as rest, iodine-avoidance diet, heart rate control, etc. should be taken, along with antithyroid drugs such as methimazole or propylthiouracil, and iodine 131 or surgical treatment can also be chosen according to the condition. After standardized treatment, the prognosis is good, and the treatment course is about 1-2 years. So hyperthyroidism is not a big disease.
However, if the patient is not treated in time or the treatment is not standardized, the disease may lead to multiple organ involvement, and in severe cases, death may result from thyroid crisis.
Once diagnosed with hyperthyroidism, you need to go to the hospital and cooperate with the doctor for standardized treatment to avoid delays.
