Specializes in Pediatric Endocrinology

See an endocrine doc: If you tested positive or hyperthyroidism the doc who ordered the test should refer you to an endocrine specialist. There is very effective medical treatment for this condition (a drug called methimazole) which should improve your symptoms (e.g. Rapid heart rate, feeling hot, weight loss) in a few weeks.
