How to Identify the Signs of Hyperthyroidism

1). Be on the lookout for changes in your sleeping patterns. You may feel more tired than usual, but still have difficulty sleeping.
2). Realize that you may feel hungry all of the time, yet still be losing weight.
3). Notice if you feel anxious more than usual, or experience symptoms such as tremors, sweating, chest pain or breathlessness.
4). Be aware if you feel your heart racing or notice muscle weakness.
5). Remember that your hands may tremble as a result of hyperthyroidism.
6). Understand that with an overactive thyroid, you may be unable to tolerate heat the way you used to.
7). Check to see if your thyroid gland, which is located on the front of your neck below your Adam's apple, seems to be enlarged.
8). Look for changes in your eyes, such as protruding eyeballs, which is a sign of hyperthyroidism.
9). Understand that the symptoms of an overactive thyroid can occur gradually, over an extended period of time. Therefore, it can take a while before you realize you are sick.
