How to get hyperthyroidism with fast heartbeat?

Hyperthyroidism is an endocrine disease. Maybe you have never associated it with stress, but at present it is on the rise due to many social factors, such as competition and pressure. What are the symptoms of hyperthyroidism? Why are women more prone to hyperthyroidism? Can hyperthyroidism be cured? Is it correct to supplement iodine for hyperthyroidism? Can hyperthyroidism patients have children? This program will tell you how to correctly understand hyperthyroidism through the stories of two women with hyperthyroidism.

Ask Director Zhu's colleague Wang Min. Is the cause of her hyperthyroidism directly related to work stress?

A: That's true. Wang Min is a nurse in our hospital. When she first joined the work, she worked very hard and was under great pressure. Later, she developed hyperthyroidism symptoms. Foreign data prove that during World War II, due to war factors, many women's mental stress increased, and the incidence of hyperthyroidism was significantly higher than that before the war.

Q: Stress and changes in mood, work and study can all lead to hyperthyroidism in women?

A: Yes, because when you are nervous and stressed, some hormones will be produced in your body to affect endocrine changes and produce special antibodies. This antibody is like a targeted missile, which specifically attacks the thyroid gland. I want to talk about hyperthyroidism. Hyperthyroidism is a general term, including many types, the most common of which is polymorphous diffuse goiter. Today, hyperthyroidism is mainly a variety of forms of diffuse goiter.

It seems that women are more likely to get hyperthyroidism. Is hyperthyroidism really easy to find women?

A: Yes, according to statistics, the male-female ratio of hyperthyroidism is 1: 5 to 1: 10, among which the proportion of lesbians is quite high, and most of them are young women, which may be related to the time change of young women's endocrine stage, but the specific reason is not clear, but it is closely related to endocrine.

What role does thyroid play in human body?

A: Thyroid gland secretes thyroid hormone, through which the human body regulates body metabolism and promotes the normal development of the body. If there is a problem with thyroid function, it will cause many systemic changes.

Ask what will happen to hyperthyroidism?

A: Thyroid hormone acts on all organs of the body. For example, if the normal engine speed of a car is 65,438+000 rpm, you will suffer from hyperthyroidism. Because thyroxine is high, it can make the body reach 438+000 rpm, while the body works normally at 65,438+000 rpm. If it reaches 3,000 rpm, various symptoms of the human body will show up.

Ask hyperthyroidism patients have a * * * the same characteristics, are particularly big eyes. Does this have anything to do with hyperthyroidism?

There are three main symptoms of hyperthyroidism, one is rapid heartbeat, the other is exophthalmos, and the third is goiter.

What are the particularly serious big eyes that Director Zhu came into contact with?

Exophthalmos is one of the most typical features of hyperthyroidism. The protruding eyes of the most serious hyperthyroidism patient I have ever seen are terrible, and they almost fall out. But now this kind of situation is very rare. With the improvement of medical conditions, there is more publicity knowledge, and everyone knows more about hyperthyroidism. They don't wait until they are seriously ill to see a doctor.

In addition to the above three symptoms, what are the discomforts of hyperthyroidism?

A: Many systems of hyperthyroidism will change, such as the cardiovascular system. Tachycardia is the most common one. Hyperthyroidism patients can not only cause tachycardia, but also cause abnormal heart rate, atrial fibrillation, and even individual patients can cause myocardial infarction. If such patients don't know that they have hyperthyroidism, but only know that they have angina pectoris and arrhythmia, or even go to a special heart hospital, they may be misdiagnosed as other heart diseases, but in fact these symptoms are caused by hyperthyroidism.

Besides cardiovascular problems, what other uncomfortable feelings do you have all over your body?

Answer: The effect on the whole body is obvious. The common symptoms are digestive system symptoms. Patients can eat too much but lose weight. Some patients describe that after suffering from hyperthyroidism, their intestines are like rectum. As mentioned above, the rotation speed of 3000 rpm will also affect the digestive system, so that patients will lose weight if they eat too much. This is the effect of hyperthyroidism on the digestive system. In addition, it also affects the nervous system. Insomnia, irritability and emotional excitement are all caused by hyperthyroidism.

Asking hyperthyroidism patients seems to require special iodine supplementation, doesn't it?

A: This is a misunderstanding. A very important factor of hyperthyroidism is that eating too much iodine-containing food can cause hyperthyroidism.

Q: But don't everyone think that the big neck disease is caused by iodine deficiency, so iodine supplementation is needed?

Iodine deficiency can lead to goiter, especially endemic goiter. These patients need iodine supplementation, but hyperthyroidism patients are not. Hyperthyroidism is caused by eating too much iodine, so it is a misunderstanding that hyperthyroidism needs iodine supplementation. When we treat patients with hyperthyroidism, the first thing to do is to pay attention to a low-iodine diet and eat less foods containing more iodine. Although this disease can cause big neck, the causes of big neck are different. The big neck with iodine deficiency belongs to endemic goiter and needs iodine supplementation, while the big neck with hyperthyroidism needs to limit iodine intake.

Ask all the symptoms of the big neck, how can we know whether it is caused by endemic goiter or hyperthyroidism?

A: Actually, it's easy to tell the difference. Endemic goiter has no manifestations of hyperthyroidism. On the contrary, there may be some symptoms of hypothyroidism, such as fear of cold, memory loss and drowsiness. On the contrary, hyperthyroidism is easily excited, so it is completely different. Besides, it's easy to tell if you have a blood test.

What should hyperthyroidism patients eat?

A: I also want to emphasize that there is a difference between endemic goiter and hyperthyroidism. First of all, the region is different. Endemic goiter is often concentrated in inland iodine-deficient areas, while hyperthyroidism is mostly in coastal areas and densely populated areas. If it is diagnosed as hyperthyroidism, we must limit the intake of iodine during the treatment of hyperthyroidism. Seafood contains more iodine, especially kelp. We will limit seafood with more iodine.

Besides kelp, what other seafood products have higher iodine content?

A: Like seaweed, shrimp and fish, the iodine content is relatively high. Don't eat kelp and seaweed with very high iodine content. Shrimp and fish can be eaten less. It's all iodized salt now. If they are hyperthyroidism patients, we hope that when cooking, we will first heat iodized salt with hot oil to volatilize iodine, and then the iodine content in cooking will be less.

Q: If the intake of iodine in the diet is well controlled, can hyperthyroidism recover completely?

Not easy to answer. A few patients with hyperthyroidism have a tendency of spontaneous remission. They seldom control their diet and eat less food with more iodine. Most patients still need to be treated by drugs or surgery, and the chances of curing hyperthyroidism simply by controlling diet are very small.

Can hyperthyroidism recur?

A: Hyperthyroidism is easy to relapse. At present, there are three methods to treat hyperthyroidism, including drugs, surgery and radioactive iodine 13 1. The three methods are different and suitable for different patients.

If hyperthyroidism patients still relapse through these methods, what are the factors of recurrence?

A: It may be that you stopped taking medicine before you recovered, or that although you have been cured for a while, because you stopped taking medicine, you may relapse due to objective factors such as excessive mental stress or improper diet, but conversely, hyperthyroidism is not incurable and can be cured.

Is it better for hyperthyroidism patients to take medicine by stages or for life?

A: Hyperthyroidism is not a disease of lifelong medication, but a disease treated by stages. As a nurse, Wang Min knew her illness, and her medication was very regular, so she didn't repeat it. After she took the medicine for a month, her index dropped. After the reduction, the doctor made a reduction according to her index and reviewed it in the process of reduction. Generally speaking, after taking medicine for one and a half to two years, 50% can be cured and will not recur, but the other 50% will recur for various reasons.

What is the method of surgical treatment of hyperthyroidism?

A: At present, surgery mainly needs to treat goiter. It should be said that the effect of the operation is better.
