What Causes Protruding Eyes And Severe Muscle Aches When Suffering From Hyperthyroidism?

Hi my name is Sharon a few years back i did radioactive iodine treatment because i had a goiter and hyperthyroidism. The treatment took care of the goiter but my mptoms now are pretruding eyes severe muscle aches tremors insomnia fatigue sensitive to heat thining of my hair. My period is crazy i have 2 a month sometimes really heavy. I never have any energy racing heart rate sometimes shortness of breath. I havent seen a doctor in a while due to no insurance or money. Ive been suffering with the pain i applied for my disability a few months ago and medicaid but nothing yet. I read up on graves disease and hyperthyroudism i seem to have symptoms if both. What do you think?

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

The protrusion of eye balls indicate collection of glycosaminoglycans behind the eye ball as a result of uncontrolled thyroid hormone levels.

Kindly revert with recent blood tests reports to co relate at a more precise level.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Wishing you all the best.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
