Hyperthyroidism

A goiter is a swelling of the thyroid gland in the neck. Nodules are small bumps inside the gland which may be malignant or benign. A person may have one nodule on one or both sides of their thyroid gland, or they may have multiple nodules on one or both sides of their thyroid gland. Bilaterally means - both sides.

YES. You should always discuss any medications you are taking with your stylist before a chemical procedure. This information could have major implications for the outcome of your service. Don't worry, the information is confidential and cosmetologists who disclose such information could be subject to losing their license, just like a doctor.

Primary hyperparathyroidism occurs as a malfunction of one of the four parathyroid glands which are located in the neck, behind the thyroid gland, usually as a result of a benign tumor, called adenoma.

Iodine is often found in salt. When it has been added to salt, the label will read Iodized Salt.

To reduce iodine you can try to reduce your iodized salt intake. 10 mgs is the approximate current recommended amount of iodine in the entire diet for adults. Because most people use iodized salt, this level is quite easily attained. Reducing your iodine intake can be difficult.

Iodine is also found in milk products, fish, large portions of meat, chocolate, breads, and red3 and controlling the amounts of these foods you consume daily will help with reducing your iodine load.

Anti Thyroid Drugs (ATD's) help the body not to use the iodine you consume.

no it doesnt sound like it but it is possible take a test to be sure, having just being off meds and having the thyroid thing could deffinatly be what is making you feel like that, as for being beloted after you eat that is no big deal, it is just in your head that you think you are big, dont worry, it happened to me i thought i was pregnant and after everytime i ate i thought my stomach was growing when there was no difference, the discharge dont worry about it

Not likely. You doctor will give you anything he can to shrink your goiter. If he thought MX3 works wouldn't he give it to you???

The protruding eyes associated with Graves' Disease hyperthyroidism is called Exophthalmos.

Women are affected by the disease up to three times more often than men

I can't say which are the two most common but most people with this condition have a high pulse rate (often with palpitations), a high body temperature, dry skin, dry eyes, weight loss, shakiness of the hands and, eventually, proptosis.

Hyperthyroidism is a medical condition in which the thyroid gland is overactive. This usually results in weight loss, shakiness or jittery hand, and other symptoms. This usually requires a medical procedure followed by medication therapy to fix.

My doctor measured my eyes with a special instrument that fits around the eyelids. It is simple and perfectly comfortable.

Hyperthyroidism can result in the accelerated clearance and usage of vitamins and minerals within the body. Since most vitamins and minerals can be toxic if over-supplementation occurs, it is best to only take those in which you have been confirmed deficient.

whats the question

TSH is thyroid stimulating hormone. It is produced by the pituitary to turn on the thyroid gland. If TSH is low, that is because there is sufficient (or too much ) thyroid hormone in the body, so the pituitary needs less to keep the thyroid functioning. Thyroid hormones measured in lab tests are usually FreeT4 and FreeT3.

Hyperthyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland produces too much thyroid hormone. Hyperthyroidism can cause several complications, including heart complications. Another name for hyperthyroidism is Thyrotoxicosis

Hyperthyroidism causes the metabolism to be unnaturally high. You can think of it like a car with the gas pedal pushed down to the floor. Just as a car will use extra gas when it is driven like that, your body will use extra calories trying to keep up with the needs of your thyroid hormone driven cells. Weight loss is very typical in hyperthyroid patients.

Goiter and hyperthyroidism are not skin disorders. Acne is a common skin problem.

The overactive thyroid releases excessive thyroxin. Thyroxin regulates how fast every cell in the body goes, including those in the nervous system. When neurons are bombarded with excess thyroxin telling them they need to go faster, reflexes quicken and the patient becomes jumpy, excitable, easily startled, and highly anxious. This is all due to the effect of thyroxin on the nervous system.

More specifically, T3 (tri-iodothyronine) is going to act intracellularly on the genes that make Sodium/Potassium ATPase pumps. T3 will also increase their activity. The process of nervous signal transduction involves depolarization of the neuron to generate an action potential. When there is increased K intracelluarly due to increased pump activity, the cell will have generated a larger membrane potential resulting in a much more reactive neuron. This will lead to hyperreflexia via hyperthyroidism. Treating the hyperthyroidism is needed to control this.

Because TSH is a part of the body's negative feedback system which controls the thyroid's output of thyroid hormones, a DECREASE of TSH would indicate hypERthyroidism.

An INCREASE of TSH indicates hypOthyroidism.

by definition its unlikely to have BOTH hyper and hypo thyroid symptoms. get an endocrinologist and get a thyroid ultrasound

it reduces the blood concentration of thyroid hormone and thus the signs and symptoms of hyperthyroidism
