Hyperthyroidism??!

Question: Hyperthyroidism!?!?

Im 17 yrs old and im sure that I have hyperthyroidism!. I use to weight 120 and now i can barely keep the weight of 108 pounds!. I eat like a horse and never gain weight!. My hair is thining, and im always tired!. About a year and a bit ago I got a blond test because i thought I had mono and they never called me and told me i had something wrong with my thyroid!. Can they not pick this up unless its asked to be tested for!?

Hi I know what you mean you think that because you go and see a doc they should just pick up on things!. Well doctors have way to many patients to be that sharp!. Unless you explain your concerns to them no they will not know!. Go to the doctor asap and explain all of your concerns!. I hope your better soon!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Several other signs are usually present!. Eyes become wide, impatience is common!. I would see an endocrinologist and an ENT (ear nose throat doc!.) A simple blood test can check for thyroxine levels and a laryngioscopy can check for abnormal growth of thyroid!. Never fear, 3 in 10 people suffer a thyroid complication!. It is a very treatable condition should you have it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
