Hyperthyroidism is a symptom, not a disease. The symptom is a result of a disease or disorder which may cause other related symptoms, not the other way around. The symptom of hyperthyroidism may cause additional symptoms such as tachycardia, however it does not cause another disorder. When the hyperthyroid symptoms are treated, the additional symptoms typically disappear.

What is a autoimmune disorder caused by hyperthyroidism?

Grave's Disease and Hashimoto's thyroiditis are two that I know of. Grave's tends to have a steady stream of hyperthyroid symptoms while in Hashimoto's tyroiditis it might start out hyperthyroid and as the antibodies attack it will eventually dwindle down to hypothyroidism. Somtimes there will be bursts of hyperthyroid behavior as the thryoid gland is destroyed by antibodies in Hashimoto's thryoiditis.
