Introduction: With physical examination becoming an indispensable item in our daily life, more and more people find that many diseases have similar names. So, what's the difference between hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism? Next, Bian Xiao will tell you about it.

First, hypothyroidism symptoms 1, hypothyroidism may lead to skin edema, non-concave edema of hands, feet and face. Some patients have sunken edema, which causes dry skin, anemia, pale skin, chills and other symptoms, affecting the whole person's mental outlook. 2. After the decrease of thyroid hormone, the myocardial contractility of the heart weakens, the blood circulation slows down, the blood supply is insufficient, and all the staff are afraid of cold. When the thyroid hormone decreases, people's voice will become hoarse. If it is further aggravated, it may affect the patient's sleep, and apnea may occur during sleep, which is very dangerous. 4. After the thyroid hormone is reduced, the tongue becomes bigger, the appetite disappears and you can't eat anything. However, the weight has not decreased. On the contrary, it will become heavier and the overall condition of the stomach will become very poor.

Second, hyperthyroidism symptoms 1. Most women and children with this disease are mild and need laboratory tests to make a definite diagnosis. 2. There will be symptoms such as special fear of heat, sweating, excitement, anorexia with weight loss, tachycardia at rest, special eye signs and goiter. To prevent the occurrence of thyroid diseases, we need to live a regular life, not eat contaminated food, exercise regularly, go out to breathe fresh air more, eat less spicy food, manage our emotions reasonably, and not be too radical in daily life to avoid damaging the liver. It is also necessary to avoid exposing the neck to X-rays. Excessive exposure to this radiation will destroy the cells of our body, leading to the destruction of thyroid tissue. Finally, eat iodine reasonably and don't eat too much salt. Try to cook lightly and eat less salt. Eating too much salt and iodine can lead to high thyroid hormone levels and hypothyroidism. However, too little iodine intake can also lead to endemic goiter.

Hyperthyroidism patients eat foods with high calorie, high protein, high vitamins and low salt, avoid iodine, and supplement calcium, phosphorus and potassium appropriately to correct the increase in consumption caused by high metabolism and improve systemic symptoms. The diet of hypothyroidism patients only needs a proper amount of iodine (common iodized salt containing 20 grams of potassium iodide per kilogram every day), limiting the diet rich in fat and cholesterol, supplementing protein and providing rich vitamins.
