What is Hyperthyroidism?
A disorder of an overactive thyroid gland. This causes overactivity of thyroid hormones that are needed for growth, development, and metabolism. Causes include viral infections, brain disorders, and autoimmunity (where the body's immune system attacks itself). Symptoms include weight loss, tremors and palpitations and/or rapid heart rate.
Typical Symptoms of Hyperthyroidism
- Enlarged male breast tissue
- Eye are bulging or jutting out
- Feeling unusually energetic
- Wheezing or whistling sounds when breathing
- Pounding, rapid or fluttering heartbeat during exercise
- Black/blue/brown spots or moles, on the skin and lining of the mouth
- Fine tremors of the hands or fingers
- Feels a hard lump in upper right abdomen
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?
- Have you been feeling unusually energetic lately?
- Do you experience wheezing or whistling sounds when breathing?
- Do you get heart palpitations when you exercise?
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.

User Testimonials for Hyperthyroidism
Male, 30s
I was really impressed with Ubie Health's symptom checker. It covered all my symptoms including fatigue, depression, and excessive drooling which is not something I have seen on other platforms. The results pointed me toward possible hyperthyroidism, so I scheduled an appointment with my doctor to figure out the best course of action. Its a great tool for getting quick results so I can have more of an idea of what's going on with me health-wise. I also liked how it showed me that I wasn't alone! It said there were 168 other people who had symptoms just like me in the past six months, so I didn't feel weird or embarrassed about my symptoms anymore. I highly recommend this site.
