I was just reading about hyperthyroidism online because my cousin got diagnosed. It seems the body's metabolism goes super fast, making you lose weight and feel sweaty. It's not something we can treat at home with food alone, medical treatment is must.
See, overactive thyroid is not a joke that you can cure with simple kitchen hacks. Go to a good endocrinologist and get your blood tests done properly. Whatever dose the doctor gives, take it daily without missing, then only you will see results.
It is actually so annoying yaar, my friend was constantly feeling anxious and hot because of this. You literally cannot sit in one place sometimes. He had to get a proper treatment plan from an endocrinologist to get his levels back to normal.
Please be very careful with hyperthyroidism because I ignored my rapid heartbeats for months. It eventually led to severe weakness and eye pressure issues. You need proper beta-blockers or thyroid medicines prescribed by a specialist to keep your heart safe.
I had this issue in my 40s and felt very weak and restless all the time. Don't worry, once you start the correct medicines, the weight and energy levels will stabilize beautifully. Just have patience and eat fresh ghar ka khana.
While you must take your doctor's medicines, avoiding extra iodine like sea kelp or iodized salt in excess might help. Focus on eating cooling foods and staying hydrated. But if you feel your heart racing or have extreme sweating, run to the hospital.
