What is hyperthyroidism?

Hyperthyroidism is a medical condition characterized by the overproduction of thyroid hormones by the thyroid gland. This hormonal imbalance leads to various symptoms and can have a significant impact on the overall functioning of the body. Common symptoms of hyperthyroidism include weight loss, rapid heartbeat, anxiety, tremors, excessive sweating, and fatigue. It can also affect the metabolism and digestion, causing increased appetite and frequent bowel movements. Hyperthyroidism can be caused by conditions such as Graves' disease, toxic adenomas, or thyroiditis. Proper diagnosis and treatment are essential to manage the symptoms and prevent complications associated with hyperthyroidism.
