How can i address a hyperactive thyroid?

A few options: You first need to find out the cause for the hyperactive thyroid. If it was thyroiditis due to an infection, it should recover on its own. The most common cause of hyperactive thyroid, however, is graves' disease. This condition needs to be treated. Either with 1)anti-thyroid pill, 2)radioactive iodine to "kill" the thyroid or 3) surgery. Your doctor should be able to help you choose the option.

Depends : Hyperthyroidism has different underlying causes. Some cases are temporary. Other causes like grave's disease require medication and possibly other treatments. Occasionally, a thyroid nodule will be the source of excessive thyroid hormone and may require surgery. Please discuss your diagnosis with your doctor in an effort to address any necessary treatment options.
