Untreated, yes. If left untreated the patient may go into "thyroid storm" which is a condition of dangerously high metabolic rate. Symptoms include dizziness, confusion, extremely fast heartbeat, sweating, diarrhea... if not treated immediately thyroid storm causes heart failure.
If you're being treated there is almost nothing to worry about. However, you do need to be aware that getting RAI treatment, as well as stopping anti-thyroid medication too quickly, can trigger thyroid storm.
