Patient's question:
My mother is 60 years old. A few days ago, her heart rate was 130 beats per minute. After being hospitalized, the doctor conducted a thorough examination and diagnosed her with hyperthyroidism, tremor, excessive sweating, unstable blood pressure, and an abnormally fast heart rate. However, the ultrasound revealed some subacute thyroiditis. The drip administered during anesthesia was nitroglycerin.What assistance is needed: The correct method for treating subacute thyroiditis?
Doctor's answer:
This situation requires treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs and immunosuppressants. Nitrates are not effective for this disease. Nitrates should be used to treat heart conditions, as they can suppress the recurrence of angina and myocardial infarction, as well as help control blood pressure. They are not related to the treatment of thyroid conditions. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery, a healthy body, and a wonderful life.
