News just in from our client, Schneider Medical Group about Can’t Take the Heat? You Might be Suffering From Hyperthyroidism

Do you often find it hard to tolerate being in a hot environment? Being in a hot place can be uncomfortable, but when you have hyperthyroidism, you might be feeling it so much worse than everyone else.

Hyperthyroidism is a medical condition wherein the thyroid gland is overactive. This gland plays a crucial role in regulating digestion, growth, and heart rate by releasing certain hormones that are essential for the body’s metabolism.

This thyroid disorder is a common ailment. In the United States, approximately 1 in 100 people have hyperthyroidism. Compared to men, women are 2 to 10 times more likely to have the disease.

Likewise, the following are at risk of developing the condition:

• People who are 60 years old and older
• Those who eat too much iodine in their diet
• Patients with Type I diabetes
• Those with a family history of thyroid disorder
