What Causes Hyperthyroidism And After Effect Of It?

My 4 year old daughter was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and im worried because she so young and my mother has the same so its in the family. I know very little bout this disease and reading as much as I can but what can I expect and is this life threatning? How similar is this to cancer? Her heart races all day long, is there a chance she could have a heart attack?
