Overview

The thyroid produces hormones that help regulate many functions in the body. When these hormones are overproduced, many bodily functions increase in speed. Thyrotoxicosis is a condition that occurs due to excessive thyroid hormone of any cause and therefore includes hyperthyroidism. Some Somehow, use the terms interchangeably. Signs and symptoms vary between people and may include irritability, muscle weakness, sleeping problems

Causes

• Graves' disease - The most common cause of hyperthyroidism (80% of cases) is autoimmune thyroid disease, also known as Graves' disease. This affects women more than men and is caused by the production of special proteins (antibodies) that attack the thyroid gland. 

• Toxic thyroid nodules or nodules - The second most frequent cause of hyperthyroidism is toxic thyroid nodules or nodules. 

• Thyroid inflammation - also known as thyroiditis - is a rare cause of hyperthyroidism typically caused by a viral illness that causes inflammation and tissue destruction of the thyresulting in the release of stored thyroid hormones. 

• Drugs - Certain medications used to treat other conditions can cause hyperthyroidism. The most common is amiodarone, a medication used to treat irregular heartbeat. Other extremely rare causes of hyperthyroidism include benign pituitary gland tumors that produce an excess of thyroid stimulating hormone.
