What Is Hyperthyroidism?
The thyroid gland is a butterfly shaped gland that is located in the neck. It is responsible for producing two hormones known as thyroxine and triiodothyronine. These hormones are responsible for helping to control a number of bodily functions, and they have a profound impact on our metabolism.
These hormones are very important for us, but it is possible for us to have too many of them in our blood stream. This is a condition known as hyperthyroidism, and it will need to be treated, and treatment is available. Here we look more closely at the condition, the symptoms it can cause, and how it can be treated.
