Patient's question:
Aunt said she has hyperthyroidism, but looking at her, there's no difference from a normal person, it doesn't seem like she's sick. How can we speculate how she got hyperthyroidism? Does getting hyperthyroidism cause sudden weight gain?Doctor's answer:
Hyperthyroidism is the full name for hyperthyroidism. It is caused by abnormal thyroid function. The most common clinical manifestations include increased appetite, rapid hunger, weight gain, and easy sweating. Some people may experience personality abnormalities such as irritability and impatience, as well as palpitations, tachycardia, chest tightness, emotional excitability, restlessness, neurasthenia, difficulty concentrating, exophthalmos, tremors of the hands and tongue, goiter, or swelling. At the same time, the most obvious symptom is that when closing the eyes and standing still, the horizontally held hands will tremble. Many mild patients appear normal on the surface and are indistinguishable from healthy individuals. Only by having their thyroid function thoroughly checked in a hospital can they be identified.
