- Neurological symptoms: Nervousness, irritability, tremors, and difficulty concentrating.

When to see a doctor about Hyperthyroidism
How is Hyperthyroidism diagnosed?
Treatment options for Hyperthyroidism
- Antithyroid medications: Such as methimazole or propylthiouracil, which reduce thyroid hormone production.
- Radioactive iodine therapy: A common, non-surgical treatment that shrinks the thyroid gland and reduces hormone production.
- Surgery (thyroidectomy): Recommended for patients with large goiters, thyroid cancer, or intolerance to other treatments.
- Beta-blockers: Used to control symptoms like rapid heartbeat and tremors but do not address the underlying cause. Close monitoring and regular follow-ups ensure effective management.

- Steroids: Used in cases of severe thyroid inflammation or Graves' eye disease. These medications are tailored to the patient's specific condition and response to treatment.
