With hyperthyroidism, what problems do you need to pay attention to every day?

Hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism require long-term medication, or even lifelong medication.

This leads to many patients will take the disease too seriously, have a lot of ideological baggage, and are not good for the disease. However, there are also some patients who "see open", do not take medicine according to the doctor's instructions, take treatment drugs without a meal, and do not pay attention to diet and life, which is not good.

So what aspects do hyperthyroid patients need to pay attention to on a daily basis?

Relax

Many patients feel that they have a very serious illness after suffering from hyperthyroidism, and the mental pressure on themselves is too great, which is not conducive to treatment.

Patients need to relax their mood, do not have too much psychological baggage, avoid large emotional fluctuations, and seek help from a psychologist if necessary.

Problems are detected early

In life, patients need to pay attention to their own hyperthyroid symptoms, and at the same time, they can learn the knowledge related to the disease, so as to detect the aggravation of symptoms as soon as possible and seek medical treatment in time.

Be aware of the adverse reactions associated with the medication you are taking, and if you have any discomfort, you can go to the hospital in time.

It is important to pay attention to hyperthyroidism

Review regularly

Especially at the beginning of the drug stage, the effect of the drug on the disease is greater, and it is necessary to review regularly to determine the best dose. The side effects of drugs are also more common in the stage of just taking the drug.

Through regular review, it is possible to determine whether the dose of the drug is appropriate and whether adverse reactions have occurred.

Take your medication on time

Just like eating, a meal is not eaten hungry and panicked, often irregular eating, the stomach will also make some small problems; irregular medication will also bring damage to the body.

Regular daily life

Patients need to pay more attention to rest, not to be too tired, and at the same time choose a diet structure that suits them to ensure adequate nutrition. At the same time, you need to quit smoking and alcohol, and eat less spicy and stimulating foods.

Iodine intake is also closely related to the condition of patients with hyperthyroidism. After diagnosing hyperthyroidism, you cannot eat iodine-rich foods such as kelp and seaweed, and it is recommended to use non-iodized salt for cooking dishes.

However, during pregnancy and lactation, the iodine limit should be abolished, otherwise it is easy to affect the normal growth and development of the child.

Having said all this, I believe that everyone must have many problems with hyperthyroidism, such as:
