Is hyperthyroidism similar to anxiety disorders?

Hyperthyroidism is similar to anxiety disorders. Hyperthyroidism is a chronic metabolic disease, a hypermetabolic syndrome caused by excessive thyroid hormone concentration in the blood. Typical symptoms of hyperthyroidism are hypermetabolic symptoms such as palpitation, heat intolerance, sweating, hand tremors, irritability, and irritability. Anxiety disorder is a neurological and mental abnormality, and patients with anxiety disorder may also show symptoms of palpitation, slight tremor, irritability, and restlessness. However, there are differences between hyperthyroidism and anxiety disorders. The main differences include the following points:

1. Symptoms of patients with anxiety disorders, such as palpitation and rapid heart rate, will improve after sleeping. Patients with hyperthyroidism still have a high heart rate during sleep.

2. Patients with anxiety disorder do not have the symptoms of thyroid enlargement and exophthalmos of hyperthyroidism.

3. The thyroid function test of patients with anxiety disorders is normal, while the thyroid function of patients with hyperthyroidism shows a decrease in TSH and an increase in T3 and T4.
