Hyperthyroidism
Overview
Symptoms of hyperthyroidism (excessive thyroid hormone) include tremors, palpitations (racing heart), trouble sleeping, heat intolerance, weight loss, hair thinning, nervousness, irritability, muscle weakness and abnormal menstrual cycle.
Treatments
The majority of patients affected with these conditions are treated with medication. Certain patients with inappropriately high thyroid hormone levels benefit from surgical intervention.
