What happens to me if I have hyperthyroidism

Condition analysis:
If your thyroid gland makes too much thyroid hormone, you will have symptoms of hyperthyroidism. Most hyperthyroidism is caused by an immune system problem called Graves' disease. At first, your hyperthyroidism may make you feel hot, have tremors in your hands, or lose weight. Over time, you may notice that your heart is beating fast, that you feel anxious, or that you are having a lot of bowel movements. You may also feel like you just don't have as much energy as usual.

Hyperthyroidism generally does not go away on its own. Most people need treatment to make hyperthyroidism go away. After treatment, many people develop hypothyroidism (too little thyroid hormone).

In rare cases, Hyperthyroidism can cause a life-threatening condition called thyroid storm, which occurs when the thyroid gland releases large amounts of thyroid hormones in a short period of time.

Instructions:
Bugleweed:  Bugleweed is a traditional anti-thyroid herb that works by reducing the output of T4 hormone and slowing down the conversion of T4 into T3. This aids in inhibiting the production of excess thyroid hormone by restricting the ability of thyroid stimulating antibodies in Graves’ disease.   A study conducted on patients suffering from hyperthyroidism suggests that bugleweed may help in reduction of symptoms like restlessness, headaches and palpitations.

Oats: Oats are valuable in hyperthyroidism to combat the weakness and exhaustion caused by the excess hormone secretion in the body. These excess thyroid hormones boost the metabolic rate of the body and increase the activity of the sympathetic nervous system. This in turn adds to the degree of stress and fatigue in the body. Oats have been traditionally considered as a mild stimulant and nervine tonic effectual in nervous debility.
