Question:
What's the difference between hyperthyroidism and an overactive thyroid? Are they the same?
Answers:
They are the same thing, your thyroid is excreting too much thyroid hormone. The trick is to find out what is causing it. You may need surgery and then after that you may become the opposite and be underactive thyroid or hypothyroidism and require medication for the rest of your life. Thyroid problems are very common.
