Hyperthyroid Symptoms In Women

hyperthyroid symptoms in women 
As we have discussed before (here), hyperthyroid briefly means overactive thyroid gland. 

Hyperthyroid symptoms in women are:
  • Feel weak, tired easily
  • Mental instability, moody, nervous, anxiety, irritability, depression, nervousness
  • Bulging eyes
  • Tremor, shaky hands
  • Breathing problems, breathlessness
  • Fast heartbeat, sometimes irregular beat, chest pain
  • Warm and itchy skin, moisy
  • Hair loss
  • Increased sweating, always feel hot
  • Increased appetite, more eating, hungry easily
  • Weight loss although you eat more than usual
  • Less frequent menstruation, lighter menstrual blood flow
  • Diarrhea
When you experience the symptoms above, it is very important to consult with an internist. If hyperthyroid is not properly treated, it will cause more problems for women such as: bone problems, fertility and pregnancy problems, heart problems, and thyroid storm.

Diagnostic Tests
Diagnosis of hyperthyroid is made by physical examination, signs and symptoms, and also some diagnostic tests as listed below:
  • Ultrasonography (USG) of the thyroid. It is a non invasive procedure.
  • Blood test:
    • Free T3 and  T4 (usually high)
    • TSH sensitive (usually low)
 Hyperthyroid treatment
  • Anti-thyroid drugs. These drugs will reduce hyperthyroid symptoms by preventing thyroid gland from making too many hormones.  
    • Propylthiouracil
    • Methimazole
  • Beta blockers, such as Propanolol. This drug treats heart palpitation and slower heart beat.
  • Radioactive iodine. It is given orally and will absorbed by the gland. The hyperthyroid symptoms will reduce gradually in 3-6 months. 
  • Surgery. If drugs and radioactive iodine do not show an improvement, in some cases, the thyroid gland should be removed. After thyroid surgery, you will need a lifetime medication to supply the thyroid hormone such as levothyroxine.

  1. I was confused, angry and depressed. I finally decided to rescue the real me. So I looked for natural supplements. For safety, effectiveness and its cheap price, desiccated porcine supplements was the best. I started taking it and I became my real self again!
