Different options: The treatment in hyperthyroidism is directed towards slowing down your thyroid gland. Different methods can be employed depending upon what the cause is found to be, among others: pills, radioactive iodine, surgery. It can also be followed closely if it is not causing you symptoms. Would definitely suggest involving an endocrinologist in making the right decision.

Hyperthyroidism: This is a common condition and treatable. It can be caused from an autoimmune disease (Graves) or a nodule that is over producing thyroid hormone. Options include medicine, radioactive iodine, or surgery.
