Hyperthyroidism

Thyroid disorders occur when there is some problem with the functioning of thyroid gland. It is a butterfly-shaped gland that lies in front of the neck. Thyroid gland plays an important role in regulating metabolic processes. . Different thyroid disorders affect the structure and functioning of the thyroid gland. The most important hormone produced by this gland is Thyroxine (T4). It is converted to triiodothyroxine (T3) which acts as the most active hormone. Pituitary gland regulates the release of thyroid hormones. Hyperthyroidism is a thyroid disorder that occurs when the thyroid gland becomes overactive. The thyroid gland starts producing more amounts of thyroid hormones that circulates in the blood. More amount of thyroid hormones in the blood affect the metabolism of the body. It increases metabolic rate and there is increase in the heart rate, blood pressure and can cause tremors in the body. There is loss of weight and frequent bowel movements.
