Patient's question:
Seeking advice on whether this condition refers to what I understand it to be. Is Hashimoto's thyroiditis the same as hyperthyroidism?Doctor's answer:
The thyroid disease is not hyperthyroidism. If it is Hashimoto's hyperthyroidism, then it is a type of hyperthyroidism, which may again cause a swollen neck, trembling hands, palpitations, excessive sweating, and in severe cases, it may lead to weight loss. It can also cause harm to the heart, so it is believed that treatment is necessary. Generally, it is recommended to use antithyroid medication for treatment, pay attention to getting more rest, and avoid eating seafood, which is beneficial for the body.
