hyperthyroidism
Excessive hormone production
Hyperthyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid gland produces excessive hormones, accelerating the body's metabolism.
Symptoms include weight loss, rapid heartbeat, anxiety, tremors, and sensitivity to heat.
The most common cause is Graves' disease.
Treatment may involve medication, radioactive iodine, or surgery.
Her hyperthyroidism was finally under control after months of treatment.
