Law of life
In the face of chronic diseases such as hyperthyroidism, patients should not only cooperate with doctors for treatment and regular follow-up, but also understand the life rules of getting along with diseases:
(1) Learn to relax and don't give yourself too much pressure and burden. Perhaps it is because you don't know how to cherish yourself that your body is prone to illness and protest.

In addition, some patients seek remedies from the beginning and use foods with high iodine content such as kelp, kelp and laver.
How to nurse hyperthyroidism patients
Hyperthyroidism is a chronic disease with no symptoms or atypical symptoms in the early stage. If not treated in time, the disease will develop into life-threatening diseases such as hyperthyroidism crisis and hyperthyroidism heart disease. Even after regular treatment, some patients can not achieve good results in short-term treatment. Because of the persistent illness, long course of treatment and great mental stress, it has a great influence on life and work. Therefore, it is particularly important to do a good job in nursing patients while actively and formally treating them. The key points of nursing are: 1. Relieve the mental and physical pain of patients. 2. Prevent the occurrence of complications. 3. Provide life help for patients.

2. Emotional nursing Chinese medicine believes that people's mental state is closely related to the body's viscera and qi and blood, and people's emotional activities are closely related to the function of hiding spirits. Patients who are energetic and open-minded generally have better curative effect, but vice versa. Therefore, it is necessary to be considerate of patients, talk to patients more, understand their mentality and guide them to let go of their doubts.
