The thyroid is a tiny gland that is in the neck below the Adam\u2019s apple.<\/p><p>Many of our body functions are encouraged by the thyroid gland including: physical growth, body temperature, puberty, fertility, metabolism and efficient functioning of the organs. The thyroid manufactures two important chemicals that are responsible for all these functions called T3 and T4.<\/p><p>The thyroid gland works together with the pituitary gland. When the levels of T3 and T4 are not high enough then the pituitary gland kicks in and tells the thyroid to produce more of these chemicals. The way this happens is that a chemical messenger is manufactured in the pituitary, called Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH).<\/p><p>When the thyroid is manufacturing more T3 and T4 than the body can use, then energy is consumed faster than it should and the condition of\u00a0<em>overactive thyroid<\/em>\u00a0occurs. Since the thyroid is responsible for so many important functions, hyperthyroidism symptoms can be varied and quite problematic.<\/p><h2><strong>Hyperthyroidism symptoms<\/strong>\u00a0can\u00a0 include:<\/h2><ul><li>nervousness<\/li><li>weight loss<\/li><li>mood swings<\/li><li>brittle hair that falls out<\/li><li>anxiety<\/li><li>bowels moving more often than normal<\/li><li>shaky hands<\/li><li>profuse sweating<\/li><li>tremors<\/li><li>warm itchy skin<\/li><li>fast heart beat<\/li><li>trouble breathing<\/li><\/ul><p>If you are experiencing any of these\u00a0<em>hyperthyroidism symptoms<\/em>\u00a0then you should visit your family doctor. They will use a blood test to screen you for overactive thyroid. The important things they will be looking for are the levels of T3, T4 and TSH in your blood.<\/p><p>Your doctor will be able to determine how well your thyroid is functioning from the blood test, but if they feel further tests are necessary, they might try a radioactive iodine uptake test. This is a test where the levels of radioactivity are measured 24 hours after the solution is put into your system.<\/p><p>Thyroid disorders are very common, and with appropriate treatment, troublesome\u00a0<strong>hyperthyroidism symptoms<\/strong>\u00a0can be alleviated, balanced and treated.<\/p><p>There are many different ways that hyperthyroidism and\u00a0<strong>hyperthyroidism symptoms<\/strong>\u00a0can be treated. The type of treatment plan you receive for overactive thyroid will be based on your symptoms and which type of treatment you find acceptable. All\u00a0<strong>treatments for overactive thyroid<\/strong>\u00a0center around one thing, though. They all aim to lower the levels of T3 and T4 in the bloodstream.<\/p><p>The most popular conventional\u00a0<em>treatments for hyperthyroidism and its symptoms<\/em>\u00a0include thyroidectomy, radioactive iodine, prescription medication and betablockers.<\/p><div><a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20130618153534\/http:\/\/www.alternativehealingacademy.org\/products\/details\/22\/Basic-Anatomy-and-Physiology-Home-Study-Course\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span class=\"pibfi_pinterest\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20130618153534im_\/http:\/\/www.natural-holistic-health.com\/images\/180x280anatomy.gif\" alt=\"Learn Holistic Healing From Home!&gt; &lt;span class=\" width=\"200\" height=\"240\" border=\"0\" \/><\/span><\/a><\/div><p>Alternative medicine also offers many treatment options for overactive thyroid and hyperthyroidism symptoms that work to keep the body in balance.
