Patient's question:
I have had hyperthyroidism for a while and have been unable to sleep. I am also very concerned about my condition. I want to know if hyperthyroidism can heal on its own within a few months?Doctor's answer:
Decide on cardiac glycosides when necessary. It should be noted that: First, patients with hyperthyroidism have myocardial resistance to cardiac glycosides. Antithyroid drugs must be used early or concurrently with cardiac glycosides, otherwise the symptoms of heart failure cannot be adequately controlled. Second, strictly control the recovery signs. When heart failure or rapid atrial fibrillation occurs again, cardiac glycosides can be used. Patients with heart failure accompanied by atrioventricular block are generally strictly prohibited from using digitalis. After deciding on digitalis, it is advisable to use a fast-acting drug. Digoxin (Lanatoside C) is suitable for patients with fast ventricular tachycardia, while Digoxin (Lanatoside K) is suitable for patients with slow ventricular tachycardia. It should be noted to use other antiarrhythmic drugs in combination to prevent sudden death.
