What Is Thyroid Disease?
6. Hyperthyroidism Symptoms
Patients who have hyperthyroidism will typically be more irritable and nervous than usual, and they can also have difficulties getting to sleep. Another fairly common symptom is a goiter which is a visibly swollen thyroid gland that causes the bottom of the neck to bulge outwards.
The patient can also start to lose weight, and losing weight too rapidly can be bad for your health. Hyperthyroidism can also cause the patient to become more sensitive to heat than usual, while it can also cause tremors and weakness in muscles. Eye problems can also develop, while women can also experience irregular periods.
