Hyperthyroid and Brain Symptoms

Hyperthyroid and Brain Symptoms

http://path.upmc.edu/cases/case537.html

Hyperthyroid can cause brain symptoms resembling mania. An excess of this hormone pushes the body into a sleep deprived state. High hormone levels may result in concentration and memory problems due and extreme fatigue. It causes learning disorders and attention problems in children. The result can be a collapse. Other hormones and brain neurotransmitters often require diagnostic testing due to the imbalanced ratio of a hormone to each other.

Symptoms of hyperthyroid include sudden weight loss, protruding or bulging eyes, exhaustion, insomnia, goiter, hand tremors and shaking, frequent elimination, changes in fluid balance within the body, tachycardia, and sweating. Other body changes include susceptibility to high temperatures, increased blood pressure, hair loss, infertility, changes in menstrual cycle, memory problems, muscle weakness, anxiety, mood changes, and nervousness.

There are herbs and botanical extracts that can help if diagnosed and treated early.

Foods which help manage this issue include broccoli, salmon, walnuts, strawberries, and blueberries. Avoid all foods and products containing caffeine.

Carefully monitor this problem with blood work.
