Hyperthyroidism is a disease more common in women than men and is caused by an excess of hormone production in one’s thyroids. The effects of this disease include continued weight loss, extreme fatigue, persistent shaking, fever and protrusion of the eyes. It can also cause infertility in some women’s cases.
Hyperthyroidism is easily treated. With treatment, you can lead a healthy life. Without treatment, hyperthyroidism can lead to serious heart problems, bone problems, and a dangerous condition called Hyperthyroid Crisis (Thyrotoxic Storm). Thyrotoxic Storm is a rare life-threatening condition that develops in cases of untreated hyperthyroidism. — WebMD
