is hyperthyroidism dangerous - #26083
I am really worried about my health because I just got diagnosed with hyperthyroidism few weeks ago, and I keep reading that is hyperthyroidism dangerous. My doctor said it’s treatable, but I’ve been feeling these weird symptoms like crazy weight loss, heart palpitations, and sometimes even anxiety that feels overwhelming. I mean, is it just me or is hyperthyroidism dangerous? Like, can it lead to something really serious if not managed properly? My mom had some thyroid issues, but she never really talked much about it. I guess I always thought it was just one of those things, you know? Now I feel scared and confused. I read some stories online about people ending up in the hospital, and it makes me think is hyperthyroidism dangerous enough to put my life at risk? I have this constant feeling of unease, like I’m on edge all the time, and maybe that is part of the condition? Do you guys think I should be more aggressive about treating this? Or should I just stick to my doctor’s advice? Honestly, I just want to be sure I’m doing everything I can to keep this from getting worse. Is hyperthyroidism dangerous enough that I should be freaking out or what?
