Short answer
If hyperthyroidism is suspected, it is necessary to take tests for thyroid hormones (TSH, free T3 and T4) and consult an endocrinologist. It is important to monitor your hormone levels and symptoms using in-app tracking.
A condition in which the thyroid gland produces an excess amount of hormones, speeding up metabolic processes in the body.
The mechanism in three steps, and where you can intervene.
Trigger
Autoimmune diseases (Graves disease), thyroid nodules, overdose of hormonal drugs.
Mechanism
Excess thyroid hormones (T3 and T4) speed up metabolism, increasing the load on the heart, nervous system and other organs.
Symptom
Tachycardia, weight loss, sweating, anxiety, hand tremors, increased fatigue.

A baseline panel for the most common causes.
The main marker of thyroid function. In hyperthyroidism, TSH levels are reduced.
Shows the level of active thyroid hormones. In hyperthyroidism, their levels are elevated.
Helps diagnose Graves' disease, a common cause of hyperthyroidism.
Assesses the general condition of the body and can detect anemia or inflammation.
Allows you to identify nodes, increased volume of the gland or other structural changes.
How each marker relates to hyperthyroidism.
Hyperthyroidism most often develops due to the autoimmune disease Graves' disease, in which the immune system attacks the thyroid gland. Other causes include toxic thyroid nodules (adenomas), subacute thyroiditis, or overdose of thyroxine medications. Less commonly, hyperthyroidism can be caused by pituitary tumors or excess iodine intake.
To diagnose hyperthyroidism, it is necessary to check the level of TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone), free T3 and T4. Additionally, antibody tests (TRAb, TPO), thyroid ultrasound and a complete blood count may be required. You can download analysis results into Axioris and track the dynamics of indicators in order to notice changes in time.
Consultation with an endocrinologist is necessary if symptoms of hyperthyroidism appear: rapid heartbeat, weight loss for no reason, hand tremors or increased anxiety. Urgent care is required for thyrotoxic crisis (temperature above 38°C, confusion, arrhythmia).
Errors include self-diagnosis and taking medications without medical supervision, ignoring symptoms, or, conversely, excessive anxiety in case of minor deviations in tests. It is important not to confuse hyperthyroidism with panic attacks or VSD, as the symptoms can be similar.

In rare cases, such as with subacute thyroiditis, thyroid function may be restored. However, most forms of hyperthyroidism (Graves disease, toxic nodes) require treatment by an endocrinologist.
The frequency depends on the severity of the condition and treatment. At the beginning of therapy, tests are taken every 4-6 weeks, then less frequently. In Axioris, you can set reminders for repeat tests.
Moderate exercise is possible after consultation with a doctor. Intense exercise should be avoided as it can increase tachycardia and strain on the heart.
Yes, excess thyroid hormones can cause anxiety, irritability, and even panic attacks. These symptoms usually improve when hormone levels normalize.
In the Axioris application, you can download test results in PDF format, plot changes in TSH, T3 and T4, and mark symptoms for a comprehensive assessment of your condition.
