Hyperthyroidism

Pulmonary fibrosis is a progressive and often life-altering lung disease that causes scarring of the lung tissue, making it increasingly difficult to breathe.

Expert, Compassionate Care to Help You Restore Balance
 Hyperthyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid gland produces too much thyroid hormone, leading to an overactive metabolism. This can cause symptoms ranging from weight loss and rapid heartbeat to anxiety and sleep disturbances. While the condition can be overwhelming, early diagnosis and personalized care can significantly improve symptoms, prevent complications, and restore quality of life.
At Premium Healthcare, we provide comprehensive hyperthyroidism evaluation and management in Miami and South Florida. Our team works closely with endocrinologists, primary care providers, and specialists to support you every step of the way.

What Is Hyperthyroidism?
 Hyperthyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland, located in the neck, produces excess amounts of thyroid hormone (T3 and T4). These hormones regulate metabolism, and too much of them accelerates body processes.
 Hyperthyroidism can be caused by:

  • Graves’ disease (autoimmune condition and most common cause) 
  • Thyroid nodules or toxic multinodular goiter 
  • Thyroiditis (inflammation of the thyroid) 
  • Excessive iodine intake 
  • Certain medications (e.g., amiodarone) 

Overuse of thyroid hormone replacement therapy

Symptoms of Hyperthyroidism
 The symptoms of hyperthyroidism may vary and often affect multiple body systems. Common signs include:

  • Unexplained weight loss despite normal or increased appetite 
  • Rapid or irregular heartbeat (palpitations) 
  • Nervousness, anxiety, or irritability 
  • Tremors in the hands or fingers 
  • Heat intolerance and excessive sweating 
  • Increased frequency of bowel movements 
  • Fatigue, muscle weakness, or difficulty sleeping 
  • Enlarged thyroid (goiter) or bulging eyes in Graves’ disease 

Because these symptoms can resemble other conditions, a thorough medical evaluation is essential.

Risk Factors
 Several factors can increase your risk of developing hyperthyroidism:

  • Family history of thyroid disease or autoimmune disorders 
  • Female gender (more common in women) 
  • Age (most often diagnosed under 40) 
  • High iodine intake 
  • Previous thyroid or pituitary conditions 
  • Stress and other autoimmune diseases 

At Premium Healthcare, we carefully evaluate your medical history, symptoms, and lifestyle to identify risk and potential underlying causes.

How Hyperthyroidism Is Diagnosed
 Our team begins with a comprehensive consultation and physical exam. We may recommend the following diagnostic tests:

  • Blood tests – to measure thyroid hormones (T3, T4) and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) 
  • Thyroid antibody tests – to detect autoimmune causes like Graves’ disease 
  • Radioactive iodine uptake (RAIU) scan – to assess thyroid function and identify causes 
  • Thyroid ultrasound – to evaluate nodules or structural changes 
  • Electrocardiogram (ECG) – to check for heart rhythm abnormalities 

Early and accurate diagnosis helps determine the most effective treatment path.

Treatment Options for Hyperthyroidism
 While hyperthyroidism is highly treatable, the right approach depends on the cause, age, and overall health. We provide and coordinate:

  1. Medication Management
  • Antithyroid medications (e.g., methimazole, propylthiouracil) to reduce thyroid hormone production 
  • Beta-blockers to relieve symptoms such as palpitations and tremors 
  1. Radioactive Iodine Therapy
     This treatment gradually shrinks the thyroid gland and lowers hormone levels. It is commonly used for Graves’ disease and toxic nodules.
  2. Surgery (Thyroidectomy)
     In select cases, partial or total thyroid removal may be recommended, especially if large goiters or suspicious nodules are present.
  3. Lifestyle and Nutritional Support
     Our care team provides guidance on:
  • Limiting excessive iodine intake 
  • Managing stress and sleep patterns 
  • Monitoring diet to support bone and heart health 

5. Ongoing Monitoring and Referrals
 We coordinate referrals to endocrinologists for advanced care and provide long-term monitoring to maintain hormonal balance.
