Causes of hyperthyroidism:
If the hyperthyroidism is temporary, it may be caused by the body having too much iodine. Excessive iodised salt intake – especially as there may be a lot of it in ready-made products today – or by taking over-the-counter iodine-containing preparations used to treat certain colds, or by using wound disinfectants or wound dressings in preparation for surgery.
Symptoms of hyperthyroidism:
One of the most typical symptoms is weight loss, and in some cases, eye drooping. In addition, a strong palpitation and a very rapid pulse are classic symptoms.
Treatment of hyperthyroidism:
Appropriate management of accompanying symptoms, such as heart problems, is important, for example with heart rate regulating drugs. Vitamin supplements may also be needed – especially B vitamins and magnesium – and, if the immune system is also weakened, vitamin C and vitamin D. It may also be useful to take certain herbal teas and preparations. These include hawthorn and lemongrass, which are beneficial for the heart and nervous system.
Prevention of hyperthyroidism:
Avoid eating too many sweets in times of stress and, in general, avoid excessive intake of iodised salt and iodine supplements. Don’t overdose on iodine, salt, salt, salt, salt, or other iodine-rich foods. You need to eat right and have a varied diet. It is advisable to eat foods with a natural base. Although excessive iodine is not recommended, care should be taken to ensure adequate intake. The daily intake of iodine for an adult is 150 µg, while during pregnancy and breastfeeding it can be as high as 180-200 µg. Natural sources of iodine are sea salt, sea fish and seafood. It is also very important to get adequate intakes of selenium, which is 50-100 µg/day. Sometimes some parts of the disease are inherited, so if you have a family history of thyroid problems, be sure to bring this to the attention of your doctor.
