thyrotoxicosis
Overactive thyroid condition
Thyrotoxicosis is a condition caused by excessive thyroid hormone in the body, producing symptoms like rapid heartbeat, weight loss, tremors, and heat intolerance.
The term is often used interchangeably with hyperthyroidism, though technically thyrotoxicosis refers to the clinical syndrome regardless of cause, while hyperthyroidism specifically means the thyroid gland is overproducing hormone.
