Hyperthyroidism may result from improper diet, such as consuming foods high in iodine, or may be caused by thyroid tumors. Additionally, it could also be due to genetic factors or excessive mental stress. Patients may experience symptoms including heat intolerance, palpitations, fatigue, irritability, weight loss, and fever.
