| Too much hormone production, for a variety of reasons, many of which are still unknown, and you get hyperthyroidism, also called thyrotoxicosis. |
| The symptoms of both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism are non-specific and can be mimicked by other conditions. |
| The classical symptoms of hyperthyroidism are staring eyes and enlargement of the neck, but these need not be present. |
| Further research regarding the etiology, natural history, pathophysiology, and treatment of subclinical hyperthyroidism is warranted. |
| When your thyroid gland produces too much of the hormone thyroxine, you develop hyperthyroidism. |
| Evaluation may also be appropriate for women who develop postpartum symptoms of hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism. |
