- Black/blue/brown spots or moles, on the skin and lining of the mouth
- Fine tremor of the hands and fingers
- Feels a hard lump in upper right abdomen
- I experience hot flushes or feelings of overheating
Diagnostic Questions for Hyperthyroidism
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
- Have you noticed an unusual increase in your breast size?
- Do your eyes bulge?
- Are you more restless and does it affect your movement or speech?
- Is your breathing noisy, like wheezing or rattling?
- Are there black, blue, or brown spots on your skin? (Including moles)
Treatment of Hyperthyroidism
The treatment aims to stop the thyroid from overproducing hormones. Options include anti-thyroid medications, radioactive iodine therapy, and surgery to remove the thyroid. At the same time, medications may be prescribed to control symptoms like palpitations and anxiety.

Male, 20s
My experience was great. I was worried, but the symptom checker helped me narrow down what it might be. I feel a little relieved compared to when I first started, and it gives me a starting point for what my symptoms could mean.

Male, 50s
The questions asked and possible causes seemed spot on, putting me at ease for a next-step solution.
(Sep 26, 2024)
Female, 40s
I was actually very impressed with the results it provided because, although I didn’t mention it during the questionnaire because I thought it was unrelated, it suggested I may have something I’ve actually been diagnosed with in the past.
