What to do when the thyroid goes into hyperdrive: a guide to hyperthyroidism
The thyroid, a gland that is found between the clavicle and Adam’s apple in your throat, controls the metabolic rate of the body, which in turn determines how we function, grow, and develop. When the thyroid starts going into overdrive and producing too many hormones for the body to handle, it disrupts the entire body system and greatly impacts your health — this is called hyperthyroidism. Dr Edson Nogueira, consultant endocrinologist in London, explains the condition and ways to treat it.
