What is the normal way of taking care of hyperthyroidism?

Just diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. Tested at 0.07. Really tired. No sleep. Some hand shaking but only sometimes. Racing heart causing extreme sweating. What is the normal way of taking care of this issue

Hey, this may be weird, but I suspect I have some kind of thyroid dysregulation. One thing I have noticed recently is one eye is much wider than the other, and while it does seem to be bulging very excessively, it is noticeably odd. Is it strange in hyperthyroidism for this to occur?

It’s common. The severity tends to track with the elevation of your Trab antibodies. When antibodies are higher, eye problems are worse. Find yourself an endocrinologist who is knowledgeable about thyroid conditions. If you have Grave’s, there are other adverse conditions that can happen, and a good endo can help.
