Feline hyperthyroidism symptoms include weight loss, increased appetite, restlessness, and vomiting. These symptoms differ from other conditions like Diabetes or kidney disease, which may also cause weight loss and increased thirst. Hyperthyroidism is unique in its combination of symptoms, such as increased appetite and restlessness, which are not typically seen in other conditions.
Heartburn and heart attacks have similar symptoms. Both conditions will present chest discomfort and a burning sensation, but a heart attack will can also present shortness of breath and lightheadedness.
Hyperthyroidism may be confused with a disorder fo the autonomic nervous system primarily because of the the permissiveness (biology) of the thyroid hormones on the hormones and neurotransmitters (epinephrine and norepinephrine) of the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system. Thyroid hormones exacerbate the effect of the sympathetic nervous system, causing "speeding up" of various body systems and symptoms resembling an overdose of epinephrine (adrenaline). These include fast heart beat and symptoms of palpitations, nervous system tremor such as of the hands and anxiety symptoms, digestive system hypermotility (diarrhea), considerable weight loss and unusually low lipid panel (cholesterol) levels as indicated by a blood test.
No, they are different viruses, but present similar symptoms. See link to CDC.
There are different kinds of thyroid disorders. The two most common problems are hyperthyroidism in which the thyroid gland is overactive and hypothyroidism in which the thyroid gland is underactive. Each condition has its distinguished symptoms. However, the two disorders share some similar symptoms such as fatigue, heart problems and menstrual changes.
Symptoms that can mimic colon cancer include abdominal pain, changes in bowel habits (such as diarrhea or constipation), unexplained weight loss, fatigue, and blood in the stool. Conditions like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and gastrointestinal infections can present similar symptoms. It's important to consult a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and diagnosis if these symptoms occur.
The thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone. The cause may be autoimmune disease (Hashimoto's), treatment for hyperthyroidism, radiation therapy, thyroid surgery or some medications. A goiter may cause similar symptoms. The most common cause of goiter worldwide is a lack of iodine in the diet. For people who use iodized salt, goiter is more often due to the over- or underproduction of thyroid hormones or to nodules that develop in the gland itself.
Yes, iodine supplements may affect hypERthyroidism. Iodine is the fuel for the thyroid. Adding extra iodine is similar to throwing gasoline on a fire. Interestingly, if too much iodine is given, it actually shuts off the thyroid and hypOthyroidism results. This can be dangerous and is not recommended. If you are hypERthyroid, ask your physician about all supplements and medicines you are taking.
Yes, several diseases can mimic diabetes by presenting similar symptoms such as increased thirst, frequent urination, and fatigue. Conditions like Cushing's syndrome, hyperthyroidism, and certain types of pancreatitis can lead to elevated blood sugar levels. Additionally, some hormonal disorders or medications can affect insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism, further complicating diagnosis. It's essential for individuals experiencing these symptoms to consult a healthcare professional for accurate diagnosis and management.
Conditions that can resemble scabies include eczema, contact dermatitis, and psoriasis, as they may present with itchy rashes and skin irritation. Additionally, folliculitis and insect bites can cause similar symptoms but are caused by different factors. It's important to consult a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis, as treatment varies significantly between these conditions.
Yes, symptoms of leukemia such as fatigue, weight loss, fever, and frequent infections can overlap with symptoms of other illnesses. However, the presence of abnormal blood cell counts and specific markers on blood tests can help differentiate leukemia from other conditions. It is important to consult a healthcare professional for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
any new lumps, unexplained fever, new or increasing pain or night sweats.
Im pretty sure the general symptoms are: flu-like symptoms, fatigue, bruises on the body as well as inside the mouth, feeling nauseous or vomiting...it would be hard to be sure because alot of the symptoms are similar to a stomach flu or other common illness.
