Hyperthyroidism
This happens when your thyroid gland produces too much thyroxine. When it does, it can accelerate your body’s metabolism, resulting in unintentional weight loss and a rapid irregular heartbeat. This can be due to several conditions, including Graves’ disease, Plummer’s disease, and thyroiditis.
Hypothyroidism
This happens when your thyroid gland does not produce enough of the crucial hormones. When you have hypothyroidism, it may not be noticeable in its early stages. However, when left untreated, it could cause numerous health problems, like obesity, joint pain, and even heart disease.
Treatment for hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism is available. It’s also recommended that you have yourself evaluated to see if you are at risk of hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism. Visit our clinic today and have our physician assess your condition to determine whether you are experiencing or at risk of hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism.
