Why the symptoms of hyperthyroidism may be confused with a disorder of the autonomic nervous system?

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.

What are the symptoms of the different kinds of thyroid problems?

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.

What is hyperthyroidism in adult?

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.


Do iodine supplements affect hyperthyroidism?

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.

Symptoms Indicative of Hyperthyroidism?

Hyperthyroidism occurs when an individual's thyroid produces an excessive amount of thyroxine, resulting in an increased metabolism. Numerous effective treatment options exist for those diagnosed with hyperthyroidism including medication and surgery. Signs and symptoms reflective of hyperthyroidism should be promptly reported to your primary care physician as an accurate diagnosis helps to avoid potential complications such as eye and vision problems, heart troubles and osteoporosis. Given that many of the symptoms related to hyperthyroidism are similar to signs associated with other diagnoses, it is often difficult for a doctor to initially diagnose a patient with the condition. Patients should expect a thorough physical examination and be prepared to answer questions related to symptoms experienced, changes in lifestyle and how long the symptoms have persisted. Blood tests are highly effective in diagnosing this condition and additional testing can help determine the cause of an overactive thyroid gland. The increased metabolic rate of individuals diagnosed with hyperthyroidism frequently results in initial symptoms occurring such as weight loss, rapid heartbeat and increased appetite. It is important to recognize that in comparison with someone intending to lose or maintain their weight, this weight loss is not related to any change in diet or physical activity patterns. Heart palpitations and patterns of arrhythmia are often reported along with fatigue and difficulty sleeping. Patients may also feel nervousness, warm and itchy skin, and describe episodes of unexplained sweating to their doctor. Finally, it is important to evaluate any palpable growth on the base of the neck as the thyroid gland is located in the front of the neck. The absence of symptoms in some patients can make it difficult to diagnose hyperthyroidism and the presence of this condition may be discovered in the process of testing ordered for a different problem. Older adults are especially likely to not report any symptoms or mistake the signs of fatigue and increased heart rate for another reason. With effective treatment it is possible to live a healthy lifestyle following the discovery of an overactive thyroid while individuals who ignore symptoms could potentially encounter complications with their heart and bones.
