A member asked:

Are there any medications or foods etc i should avoid being hyperthyroid? am awaiting specialist appointment. dr started me on propanolol.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hyperthyroid: If you are hyperthyroid, the Propranolol should make you feel better. Your metabolic rate is high, so you will need more calories than others. Don't eat seaweed (Kelp) because of the high iodine content, but who eats this anyway? Your doctor may start you on medications to suppress the thyroid and may talk about radioactive iodine treatment or surgery.
