Brief Answer:
No, it does not cause hyperthyroidism

Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome

I appreciate your concern

No, methamphetamine does not have a causative relation with hyperthyroidism. It can cause a raised heart rate, hypertension and tachyarrhythmias which are manifestations of hyperthyroidism but these effects are not related to a raised thyroid level.

Let me know if you have any query

Wishing you best of health

Thanks
