What Is Hyperactive Thyroid Syndrome?
Hyperactive thyroid syndrome is a condition in which the thyroid gland is overactive, creating an abundance of thyroid hormone, which controls the body’s metabolism. Hyperactive thyroid syndrome speeds up every function in the body, causing unexplained weight loss and light or less frequent menstrual periods for women, two conditions which, on the surface, might seem desirable for today’s woman; other symptoms, however, can make life difficult.
