Hyperthyroidism vs. Hypothyroidism: Notable Differences

The thyroid is a gland that produces a hormone crucial for bodily function. When the gland generates an insufficient volume of thyroid hormone, many health problems can occur.

Blood tests can detect problems with thyroid hormone production, and patients can use DrOwl to access their personal health records for greater understanding. Our app also has another helpful feature that improves your understanding of complex medical information.

Hyperthyroidism (Overactive Thyroid)

An excess of thyroid hormone can affect the body in numerous ways. Unintended weight loss is common, as is excessive sweating and nausea. Some people may also experience heart palpitations.

Hypothyroidism (Underactive Thyroid)

When the thyroid is underactive, it produces an insufficient amount of the thyroid hormone. This can slow down a person’s metabolism and cause weight gain, persistent fatigue, and cold intolerance.
