Quiz: Could You Be Hyperthyroid?
Thursday October 9, 2008
Your hair is falling out, you're losing weight -- without trying -- you can't sleep, you feel jittery yet weak, your heart is pounding, you feel anxious and even irrational...could your thyroid be overactive? An estimated 5 to 7 million people are hyperthyroid, yet most people with hyperthyroidism aren't even diagnosed. If you're hyperthyroid, you're probably suffering in silence, or if you talk to your doctor, you may end up misdiagnosed -- some doctors even tell patients they have panic disorder, anorexia, or are "just stressed out!!" (Who wouldn't be stressed out if they had undiagnosed hyperthyroidism?)This helpful quiz walks you through some of the most common hyperthyroidism risk factors and the frequently seen signs and symptoms that tell you that your thyroid may be overactive. Take control of your health care!
