A member asked:

What can too much thyroxine do to the body?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Problems: Like anything else, too much of a good thing is also no good. Too much thyroxine causes hyperthyroidism. This can cause palpitations, irregular heart rhythms, bone loss, muscle weakness, trouble sleeping, anxiety. In essence, thyroid hormone affects every part of your body.
