Don't just stare at the big neck! Doctor: These four symptoms also indicate that hyperthyroidism is coming.

May is coming, and the hot summer is coming. Summer is very unfriendly to hyperthyroidism patients, because in hot weather, people's metabolic rate will be significantly accelerated, but hyperthyroidism itself is a high metabolic disease, so this season is really a bit "unbearable" for hyperthyroidism patients.

But in recent years, the incidence of hyperthyroidism is getting higher and higher, and it has become a very common disease. Many people think that hyperthyroidism is a thick neck. In fact, this concept is wrong. Although a thick neck is indeed a sign of hyperthyroidism, it is not a disease. There is still a little difference between a big neck and hyperthyroidism.

First of all, talk about big neck disease: big neck disease is usually caused by iodine deficiency. This is because thyroid metabolism is blocked. The iodine in the thyroid gland is stored too little, which will cause swelling if it is not enough for daily activities of the human body. At this time, some iodine can be added to promote the growth of thyroid. Therefore, a big neck is probably just a goiter.

Let's talk about hyperthyroidism first: hyperthyroidism is just an endocrine disease caused by too much thyroid hormone metabolism in the thyroid gland, which the body can't bear. In general, it is caused by external stimuli, such as excessive mental stress, improper diet and heredity.

Here I want to tell you that hyperthyroidism is not just a "thick neck". Also pay attention to the following four phenomena, which are likely to be signs of hyperthyroidism.

1. You will never get fat.

Under normal circumstances, hyperthyroidism patients tend to be hungry and eat more, but their weight is declining. Therefore, the digestive system of hyperthyroidism patients is prone to abnormalities, and patients will have symptoms such as poor appetite, abdominal pain and abdominal distension. This is because this manifestation is very similar to the digestive tract, so it is very easy to be misdiagnosed. Patients should be vigilant, and doctors need to pay special attention to the examination of hyperthyroidism patients.

2. Anemia occurs

People are prone to colds and anemia when their resistance is weak, so special attention should be paid to detecting the white blood cell count and red blood cell content in the body. If thyroid hormone is over-metabolized, it will lead to problems in blood hematopoietic function.

3. Abnormal heart rate

Some patients with hyperthyroidism may have arrhythmia symptoms such as tachycardia, palpitation, chest tightness, asthma, dyspnea, etc., which often makes people mistakenly think that they have heart disease.

4. Emotional instability

Some patients with hyperthyroidism will be grumpy, unable to control their emotions, and some will turn a deaf ear to everything and regard it as mental illness.

Finally, I would like to remind our friends that if the above four symptoms appear all the time, it is likely to be a sign of hyperthyroidism. Go to the hospital for examination on time, pay attention to maintaining good lifestyle and behavior habits in daily life, pay more attention to diet collocation, and avoid eating irritating and spicy food, such as dried ginger, pepper, coffee and alcohol.
