Question 1

can hyperthyroidism cause swelling of the lymph nodes in the neck?

Accepted Answer

Probably not.: Causes of enlarged lymph nodes are infection, inflammation, or less likely neoplasm.  Hyperthyroidism usually means overactive thyroid gland.  If you have persistently enlarged lymph nodes in the neck, you should have a medical evaluation.

Question 2

can hyperthyroidism alone or hyperthyroidism with antibodies or thyroiditis have an affect on lymph nodes of the face and neck? thank you

Accepted Answer

Thyroid inflammation: can cause some enlargement of neck lymph nodes, but it is generally not something you could detect. Check w/your doctor.

Question 3

what does hyperthyroidism with swollen lymph nodes and facial numbness and swelling suggest?

Accepted Answer

Your doctor can help: These answers will best come from the doctor who has made your diagnosis of Hyperthyroidism. There does not seem to be any connection between the thyroid and your facial symptoms. Are you sure you are not too anxious about your thyroid problem. Follow up with your current doctor is recommended and get an examination.

Question 4

dx major depression/anxiety in feb21 dx mono in aug2021 subclinic dx hyperthyroid oct21 currnt symptms (worst ones): anxiety/mood swngs, wght loss, butt pains, shoulder aches, cold/heat intoler & small lymph nodes in axilla. dr.= says not worrisome?

Accepted Answer

: Your history of an infection could have possibly caused the sub clinical hyperthyroidism. I typically repeat the thyroid level 4-6 weeks later to verify. A thyroid physical exam should also be done. Also, if you have family history of breast/ovarian cancer or have concerns with breast lumps/bumps, you are in the age range to consider getting a mammogram to screen for breast cancer.

Question 5

what lab values would indicate hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism?

Accepted Answer

TSH,T4 and T3 (liothyronine): Blood test for
TSH  Thyroid stimulating Hormone secreted by Anterior Pituatry
T4 and Free T4  
T3 (liothyronine)
T3 (liothyronine) AND T4 are the hormones excreted by Thyroid
Hypothyroidism 
TSH is high AND T4 is low and T3 (liothyronine) may be normal or low
Hyperthyroidism
TSH is low 
T4 is high and T3 (liothyronine) may be high or normal

Question 6

my mom has hashimotos disease & i have hyperthyroid symptoms. i had my ths and t4 reflex free tested: 1.47 & .27-4.2. what could my results indicate?

Accepted Answer

Hyperthyroid symptom: A TSH of 1.47 is normal.  I am not sure what 0.27-4.2 refers to.  Is this the normal range for tsh?  
With a normal tsh, it is likely that your hyperthyroid symptoms are not actually from hyperthyroidism.  Stress?  Talk to your doctor.

Question 7

i was diagnosed with hashimoto's and put on levothyroxine. despite having normal labs with t4 and t3, i've been suffering symptoms that appear to be hyperthyroid. would this indicate problems with adrenal glands or something else?

Accepted Answer

: Too much thyroid medication or something else. Not likely adrenal.

Question 8

could this indicate hyperthyroidism? free t4 is 20 pmo/l, tsh is 2.2 miu/l, free t3 (liothyronine) is 6 pmo/l. upper ref. ranges for these are: 19, 4.9 and 6.

Accepted Answer

Not hyperthyroidism: Hi. The classic picture of hyperthyroidism is suppressed (usually undetectable) TSH and elevated free T4 and T3 (liothyronine). The "normal range" is determined as the 95% confidence interval where normal values lie, and by definition, excludes 5% of normal values. Your only value in the "hyper" range is the free T4, but it's just outside normal, and could easily be one of the 5% of normals outside the norm rang

Question 9

tsh .616 free t4 .87 free t3 (liothyronine) 3.0 have a lot of the symptoms of hyperthyroidism as well. last tsh level was .701 in jan.  would this indicate hyperthy.

Accepted Answer

No: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Having said that, your TSH level is in the normal range.
For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex.

Question 10

is hyperthyroidism hereditary?

Accepted Answer

Partly: Genetic factors increase susceptibility to grave's disease, but a specific gene has not been identified.
