Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.

You have hyperthyroidism. You need anti thyroid medicine.

You can take drugs like propylthiouracil or methimazole.

First go for T3, T4 and TSH level and take treatment accordingly.

These are prescription based medicine so consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
