Hyperthyroidism, often mistakenly referred to as "hyperthycemia," is a condition characterized by the overproduction of thyroid hormones, leading to an accelerated metabolism. This can result in symptoms such as weight loss, increased heart rate, anxiety, and heat intolerance. The most common cause is Graves' disease, an autoimmune disorder, but other factors like thyroid nodules or certain medications can also contribute. Proper diagnosis and treatment are essential to manage the condition effectively.
