Hyperthyroidism is a problem that occurs when the thyroid gland
overproduces thyroid hormone, resulting in an overactive metabolic state. All of the body's
functions may speed up with this disease.
Symptoms of hyperthyroidism include nervousness, irritability, a constant feeling of being hot, increased
perspiration, insomnia and fatigue, increased frequency of bowel movements, less frequent menstruation and decreased menstrual flow, weakness,
hair loss, weight loss, change in skin thickness, separation of the nails from the nail bed, hand tremors, intolerance of heat, rapid heartbeat,
goiter, and, sometimes, protruding eyeballs. Hyperthyroidism is sometimes also called "thyrotoxicosis". The most common type of this disorder is
Grave's disease, which affects over 2.5 million
in just the United States alone. ..more

The thyroid gland is the body's internal thermostat. It regulates the temperature by secreting
two hormones that control how quickly the body
burns calories and uses energy. If the thyroid secretes
too much hormone, hyperthyroidism results; too little hormone results in hypothyroidism. Many cases of hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism are believed to result from an abnormal immune response. The exact cause is not understood, but the immune system can produce antibodies that
invade and attack the thyroid, disrupting hormone production. Hyperthyroidism can also be caused by lumps or tumors that form on the thyroid and disrupt hormone production. Infection or inflammation of the thyroid can cause temporary hyperthyroidism, as can certain prescription
drugs. Hyperthyroidism is not as common as hypothyroidism. Both of these thyroid disorders affect women more often than men. A malfunctioning thyroid can be the underlying cause of many recurring illnesses.
