by

  • Frequent bowel movements

  • Nervousness, anxiety, or irritability

  • Fatigue despite high energy bursts

If you notice multiple signs, it’s important to see a doctor for blood tests to measure thyroid hormone levels.

🩺 Diagnosis and Treatment

Diagnosis

  • Blood tests: Measure TSH, T3, and T4 levels. Low TSH with high T3/T4 indicates hyperthyroidism.

  • Imaging: Ultrasound or radioactive iodine uptake tests to detect nodules or inflammation.

Treatment Options

  • Medication: Beta-blockers for symptoms, antithyroid drugs to reduce hormone production.

  • Radioactive iodine: Shrinks overactive thyroid tissue.

  • Surgery: In rare cases, partial or total thyroid removal.

  • Lifestyle Support: Balanced diet, stress management, and regular check-ups.
