Hypothyroidism is a common condition where the thyroid doesn’t create and release enough thyroid hormone into your bloodstream. This makes your metabolism slow down. Also called underactive thyroid, hypothyroidism can make you feel tired, gain weight and be unable to tolerate cold temperatures. The main treatment for hypothyroidism is hormone replacement therapy.

Hypothyroidism happens when your thyroid doesn’t create and release enough thyroid hormone into your body. This makes your metabolism slow down, affecting you entire body. Also known as underactive thyroid disease, hypothyroidism is fairly common. When your thyroid levels are extremely low, this is called myxedema. A very serious condition, myxedema can cause serious symptoms, including: • • • • Confusion. • Coma. This severe type of hypothyroidism is life-threatening.

Hyperthyroidism can be treated with antithyroid drugs, radioactive iodine, beta blockers and surgery. Overview What is hyperthyroidism? Hyperthyroidism is a condition in which your thyroid creates and releases more hormones than you need. This is also called overactive thyroid.

Some of your glands create and release hormones — substances that help your body function and grow. The thyroid gland plays a big part in many of your body’s main functions, including: • Regulating your body temperature. • Controlling your heart rate. • Controlling your metabolism (the process that transforms the food you put in your body into energy that helps your body function). When your thyroid gland is working correctly, your body is in balance, and all of your systems function properly. If your thyroid stops working the way it’s meant to — creating too much or to...
