Best Answer

If you are concerned about a thyroid issue, you are probably being safe in eliminating health issues. The symptom that is most common is uncontrollable weight loss and weight gain, the fluctuation being the problem. Also, if you notice your appetite changing, sleeping interruptions, or bowel pain, consult a doctor.

Why do your eyes pop out?

If you mean that the eyes look protuberant or "bugged" out, some people have that as a normal feature of their facial bone structure. In other cases, it can be a sign of a disorder called Grave's Disease, an autoimmune disease that affects the thyroid gland. This common sign of exophthalmos (sometimes called proptosis), or protuberance of the eyes, often is the first indication of Grave's Disease. There are too many other possibilities to list all conditions that can involve this sign. If only one eye is bulging, it can also be a sign of a tumor behind the eye. An eye examination by an Ophthalmologist is recommended when this condition either of one eye or both is first noted.

How do you treat high tsh?

Well HIGH TSH is a sign of HYPOthyroidism which means your thyroid is not producing an adequate Amt of hormones for the body. Your thyroid produces t3 and t4 if it starts producing less of these the pituitary gland in brain releases more TSH (Thyroid stimulating hormone) to try to stimulate the thyroid to make more. Typically if it's not cause by an autoimmune disease (the immune system attacking the thyroid) all u need to do is get your doc to test your thyroid and if it comes back high hell put u on a pull called synthroid. Generic- levothyroxine. And this replaces the hormones your thyroid is not producing. It makes up for it. Good luck!
