Hyperthyroidism

Hyperthyroidism – Diagnosis

At AVIVO clinics, our homoeopathic doctors will first study the patient’s complaints and note the exact origin of symptoms, how long the symptoms have persisted, and understand what difference they have made to the patient’s health. Early diagnosis of hyperthyroidism helps with an effective treatment.

Testing TSH

While diagnosing hyperthyroidism, our homoeopaths will take into account both the symptoms and the results of the TSH test. The TSH level is always maintained within a range. A blood test can confirm the diagnosis of hyperthyroidism by looking at the TSH levels.

Hyperthyroidism-The symptoms

The symptoms of hyperthyroidism may be vague and can mimic other diseases and conditions. If someone has a mild form of hyperthyroidism, they may not notice any symptoms. Overactive thyroid usually leads to discomfort or even disability that can disrupt their daily activities or routine.

The different symptoms are:

Anxiety, nervousness, irritability
Frequent, loose intestinal movements
Difficulty to sleep
Dual vision
Eyes that protrude or bulge out (in patients with Graves’ disease)
Hair quality changes that are brittle hair, thinning hair and hair loss
Irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia), particularly in older adults
Changes in the menstrual cycle, including lighter bleeding and less frequent periods
Muscle weakness, particularly in thighs and upper arms
Rapid fingernail growth
A rapid heartbeat that is generally more than 100 beats per minute
Shaky Hands
Sweat
Skin thinning
weight loss despite an increase in appetite

It is essential to know that the above symptoms may be due to other medical issues and disorders, that range from simple anxiety to more severe health problems. The best way to do this would be to consult our homoeopathic doctors who diagnose the problem and provide guidance.

When to visit the doctor

If a person experiences rapid heartbeat, unexplained weight loss, unusual sweating, swelling at the base of the neck or other symptoms related to hyperthyroidism, they should consult our homoeopathic doctor. It is essential to provide a detailed description of the symptoms experienced as many symptoms of hyperthyroidism could be associated with several other problems.

Complications:

Heart problems: some of the most severe complications of hyperthyroidism include the heart. These include rapid heart rate, heart rhythm disturbance, and even heart failure. These complications are generally reversible with proper treatment.
Untreated hyperthyroidism can also lead to weak, fragile bones (osteoporosis). The strength of the bones depends, in part, on the amount of calcium and other minerals it contains. Too much of the thyroid hormone interferes with the ability of the body to maintain calcium in the bones.
Eye problems: people with Graves’ disease develop eye problems, including bulging, red or swollen eyes, sensitivity to light and blurred or double vision. Untreated, severe eye problems can lead to loss of vision.
Red, swollen skin: in rare cases, people with Graves’ disease may develop redness and swell on the skin, usually on the shin and the legs.
Thyrotoxic crisis: hyperthyroidism also puts the patient at risk of a thyrotoxic crisis, a sudden increase in symptoms, resulting in fever, rapid pulse and even delirium. If this happens, the patient should seek immediate medical attention.

Hyperthyroidism-Therapy

Hyperthyroidism is a chronic, progressive disease that affects multiple systems and organs of the body, including metabolism, menstrual function and sleep. At AVIVO clinics, we have a team of both homoeopathic and endocrinological experts. We conduct in-depth studies of individual cases and plan treatments, taking into account the best possible outcome for each patient.

Treatment Approach

Our homoeopaths will spend 30-45 minutes with a person to understand the exact cause of hyperthyroidism. The patient’s medical history, family history of a thyroid disorder, and lifestyle will be taken into account. Depending on all these factors, our homoeopaths offer customized homoeopathic treatment that will help the person cope with hyperthyroidism.
Our homoeopathic doctors will perform a physical examination and ask questions about the symptoms of hyperthyroidism. They will perform a TSH test to measure the amount of thyroid hormone in the patient’s blood.
Homoeopathic medicines are recommended based on the diagnosis and the extent of the disease.
