Hello,
Thank you for asking on HCM!
I would like to make you some more questions in order to clarify your situation.
You report to have hyperthyroidism, but is this confirmed with the hormonal level or you just have symptoms of hyperthyroidism? It is very important to know because if hyperthyroidism is confirmed the treatment must be started immediately to prevent further damages of high hormonal level in heart and bones.
So, if you were a patient in my clinic, i would recommend you to do some exams as; TSH,FT4,FT3, a scintiscan of the thyroid gland (pregnancy must be excluded before). Than, if the diagnoses of hyperthyroidism is confirmed, the oral medication should be started to normalise the hormonal level.
I am opened for further advices.
Kind regards,
Dr.M.Guni
