HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Hyperthyroidism is diagnosed based on symptoms and blood tests. The blood tests would show an increase in thyroid hormone levels and a decrease in a hormone called TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone).
There are different treatment methods: (1) the use of radioactive iodine (2)anti thyroid drugs (3) surgery
There should be another form of treatment along with the inderal which would only treat symptoms such as palpitations, tremor, trembling, anxiety, but would not address the cause of the problem.
You may want to consider a reassessment.
I hope this helps
