The thyroid gland manufactures hormones that regulate your body’s metabolism. Several different disorders can arise when your thyroid produces too much hormone (hyperthyroidism) or not enough (hypothyroidism). The thyroid gland is responsible for the function of many systems in our body including our metabolism (body weight), digestive functions, muscle functions, brain functions, bone density health, menstrual cycles, body temperature and cholesterol levels.
Hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) is a condition in which your thyroid gland doesn’t produce enough of certain important hormones.
Hypothyroidism disrupts the normal balance of chemical reactions in your body. It rarely causes symptoms in the early stages; but over time, untreated hypothyroidism will cause a great deal of health problems, such as obesity, joint pain, infertility and heart disease. Women, especially those older than age 60, are more likely to have hypothyroidism. The good news is that Infusion Health Telemedicine Clinic offers accurate thyroid function tests available to diagnose hypothyroidism.

Hyperthyroidism can accelerate your body’s metabolism significantly, causing sudden weight loss, a rapid or irregular heartbeat, sweating, and nervousness or irritability. Several treatment options are available if you have hyperthyroidism. Doctors use anti-thyroid medications and radioactive iodine to slow the production of thyroid hormones. Sometimes, treatment of hyperthyroidism involves surgery to remove all or part of your thyroid gland. Although hyperthyroidism can be serious if you ignore it, most people respond well once hyperthyroidism is diagnosed and treated.
Older adults are more likely to have either no signs or symptoms or subtle ones, such as an increased heart rate, heat intolerance and a tendency to become tired during ordinary activities. Medications called beta blockers – used to treat high blood pressure and other conditions, can mask many of the signs of hyperthyroidism. Hyperthyroidism can mimic other health problems, which may make it difficult for your doctor to diagnose. It can also cause a wide variety of signs and symptoms, including two types of auto-immune thyroid diseases – Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis and Graves’ Disease.
It is about determining what you have control over so you can live your life with the vitality and health you deserve. We live in a culture, where people are conditioned to expect aches and pains in life, so when you feel chronically tired, your stress levels are high, or your knees start to hurt, you think that’s just the way it is going to be.
The truth is that you don’t have to settle for feeling tired, run down, or overwhelmed, and you don’t have to settle for feeling average. For each of us there is a best that we can feel, and we want to help find that a better you to experience life as it should be – as you want it to be.
