A slew of symptoms without a known cause A 61-year-old woman began noticing that she was often out of breath. Although she initially thought her weight might be the issue, her daughter was concerned that it might be lingering effects of a COVID-19 infection that she had had a few years earlier.

The thyroid gland itself is regulated by the pituitary gland in the brain, and the pituitary gland is regulated by the hypothalamus, another gland in the brain. Thyrotoxicosis is a toxic condition that is caused by an excess of thyroid hormones from any cause.
