Hi,Thanks for consulting at HCM.
You most likely have toxic nodule secreting excess thyroid hormone.For symptomatic treatment a drug from the b-blockers is started along with antithyroid drugs to make you euthyroid.
Definitive treatment is surgery after control.You need a scan also.If nodule is removed you may be normal without taking any drug.

Hope it satisfies you.Get well soon.
Never forget to rate the answer please.
Looking forward to see you again at HCM.
