Hyperthyroidism is hyperthyroidism, which is a very common endocrine disease in clinic. It refers to a series of hypermetabolic syndrome, symptoms of hyperexcitability and ocular symptoms of nervous system, circulatory system, digestive system and cardiovascular system caused by excessive secretion of thyroid hormone or elevated levels of thyroid hormone (T3, T4) in blood for various reasons. Clinically, patients with hyperthyroidism mainly show palpitation, tachycardia, fear of heat, sweating, overeating, emaciation, emaciation, fatigue, irritability, impatience, insomnia, inattention, exophthalmos, trembling hands and tongue, goiter or enlargement, menstrual disorder or even amenorrhea in women, impotence or breast development in men, etc. Goiter is symmetrical, and some patients are asymmetrical. Goiter or enlargement will move up and down with swallowing, and some patients with hyperthyroidism have thyroid nodules. Eye changes caused by hyperthyroidism, one is benign exophthalmos, the patient's eyeball protrudes, his eyes stare or show frightened eyes; The other is malignant exophthalmos, which can be transformed from benign exophthalmos Patients with malignant exophthalmos often have photophobia, tears, diplopia, decreased vision, eye swelling and pain, tingling, foreign body sensation and so on. Because the eyeball is highly prominent, you can't close your eyes, and the conjunctiva and cornea are exposed, causing congestion, edema and corneal ulceration. , even blind. Some patients with hyperthyroidism have no ocular symptoms or the symptoms are not obvious. All the above are typical clinical manifestations of hyperthyroidism, but not every hyperthyroidism patient has all clinical symptoms. Different types of hyperthyroidism have different clinical manifestations.

2. In daily food, kelp, laver, Chinese cabbage, marine fish, shrimp, crab and shellfish are rich in iodine. Excessive iodine is unfavorable to the condition, which is manifested as:

(1) Aggravating hyperthyroidism: Because iodine is the main raw material for making thyroid hormone, taking iodine for a long time will aggravate hyperthyroidism and even cause hyperthyroidism caused by iodine.

(2) It is not good for treatment: eating too much iodine may also harden thyroid tissue, which will lead to the persistence of the disease and affect the treatment of antithyroid drugs. Excessive iodine will prolong the treatment time of hyperthyroidism with thyroid drugs and reduce the cure rate. After excessive iodine supplementation, the cure rate of antithyroid drugs for hyperthyroidism will drop to 20% ~ 35%.

Therefore, patients with hyperthyroidism should avoid eating iodine-containing foods such as kelp, laver and marine fish, and ban iodine-containing Chinese medicines such as seaweed and kelp. Patients should eat non-iodized salt when they eat salt. If iodized salt is used, it should be fried at high temperature for a period of time before eating, so that iodine can evaporate.

3. Patients with hyperthyroidism should pay attention to:

(1) Taboo spicy food: pepper, raw onion, raw garlic;

(2) Taboo seafood: kelp, shrimp, hairtail;

(3) taboo strong tea, coffee, tobacco and alcohol;

(4) Keep calm and prevent fatigue.

Hyperthyroidism is a disease caused by the thyroid gland secreting too much thyroid hormone. This disease is more common in women. Excessive thyroid hormone can cause a series of clinical manifestations, such as fear of heat, hyperhidrosis, hyperhidrosis, emaciation, palpitation, emotional tension and impatience. Most patients with hyperthyroidism have goiter, and the degree of goiter varies from light to heavy. A few patients with hyperthyroidism have no goiter. Many patients with hyperthyroidism still have exophthalmos, and the degree of exophthalmos varies from light to heavy. Thyroid function examination showed that the iodine uptake rate of 13 1 increased, and the levels of thyroid hormones (T3, T4) in blood increased significantly. The most common type of hyperthyroidism is toxic diffuse goiter, which accounts for about 80% of all hyperthyroidism patients. Its etiology is mainly related to immune dysfunction and congenital inheritance.
