Here is the rewritten text in English: **Symptoms of Hyperthyroidism** If you experience any of the following symptoms, seek medical attention immediately: * feel nervous * have tremors * feel short of breath * get tired easily * experience muscle weakness **Risk Factors** Being a biological female and being over 60 years old increase a person's risk of hyperthyroidism. Other risk factors include: * having a family history of thyroid disease * eating a diet rich in iodine, such as kelp * taking medication that contains iodine * using nicotine, such as smoking or vaping * being pregnant within the previous 6 months **Treatment Options** Doctors treat hyperthyroidism according to the underlying cause and severity of the condition. There is no one-size-fits-all approach, but the goal is to bring thyroid hormones back down to typical levels. The three main treatment types for hyperthyroidism include: * **Thyroid Medications** + Doctors may prescribe medications such as beta-blockers to treat the effects of hyperthyroidism. + Antithyroid medication reduces thyroid hormone production and may temporarily reduce Graves' disease symptoms. + Some people experience side effects from taking antithyroid medicines, including an adverse reaction, reduced white blood cells, or liver failure. * **Radioiodine Therapy** + Radioiodine therapy slowly kills off the cells that produce thyroid hormone. + People take this treatment orally in capsule or liquid form. + Doctors do not prescribe radioiodine therapy during pregnancy as it can harm the fetus. * **Thyroid Surgery** + If a person has a goiter, doctors may recommend surgery. + They may also suggest it for a person with hyperthyroidism during pregnancy when other treatments are potentially harmful or inadequate. **When to Contact a Doctor** It is essential to check your thyroid function if you experience any of the previously mentioned symptoms, including palpitations, diarrhea, and excessive sweating. If you experience any of the following symptoms after taking thyroid medication, contact your doctor immediately: * tiredness or weakness * dull pain in the abdomen * loss of appetite * skin rash, itching, or easy bruising * yellowing of the skin or whites of the eyes * constant sore throat * fever or chills **Summary** Hyperthyroidism causes the thyroid gland to produce too much thyroid hormone, which speeds up a range of essential body functions, including heart rate. This may increase a person's risk for cardiovascular issues, such as raised blood pressure, irregular heart rhythm, or stroke. Treatments include medications, radioiodine therapy, or surgery.
