Has anyone heard of hyperthyroidism presenting as hyppothryroid symptoms" as a diagnosis? the treatment with carbimazole seems to make it worse!! weightgain of 18kgs b4 diag, the med put on more weight, can not lose it.

Thyroid: Some elderly people with hyperthyroidism do not present with typical symptoms, but I'm not aware that significant weight gain is one of them. Of course antithyroid medications may induce weight gain by lowering the metabolic rate. I would be interested in whether thyroidologists have experience with the paradox of weight gain caused by thyroid overactivity.
