Brief Answer:
Have you been tested for this?

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about the concerns with a hyperactive thyroid. My first question would be to make sure you have been diagnosed for this condition. I will like to know if you have been tested and if so,, please provide the results for interpretation to me.

Treatment for overactive thyroid depends on the exact cause. Some may be treated with drugs while others require surgery. What method is employed is really dependent on the exact information from testing and evaluation.

I hope this helps. I hope to hear more from you so as to provide precise answers on whether surgery or drug therapy would be best indicated for you.
