Patient's thyroid gland, hypertension

There are a number of painful symptoms, which lead to a sick thyroid. Increased pressure, for example, can be caused by hyperthyroidism - an increase in the functions of this endocrine gland and an increase in the production of hormones. To violations of the functions of this body also includes hypothyroidism - a decrease in the production of hormones.

The thyroid gland is the organ of the endocrine system that produces iodine-containing hormones that take part in the metabolism and control the processes of tissue growth - thyroxine, triiodothyronine and calcitonin. It is located in the middle part of the neck under the larynx, in front of the trachea, and consists of two parts, connected by an isthmus, weighs 25-30 grams. The thyroid gland in men, as a rule, is larger than in women, in which its diseases occur 10 times more often than in representatives of the strong half of mankind.

Against the background of a violation of normal thyroid activity hypertension can develop. Elevated blood pressure is one of the signs of hyperthyroidism. Hyperfunction of this endocrine organ is characterized by excessive release of hormones, which is determined by the analysis of blood. Timely treatment of this disease can prevent many painful symptoms, such as: increased irritability, protrusion of eyeballs, goitre formation, in which, as a rule, the thyroid gland is enlarged. According to modern classification there are 5 stages of its increase. The zero stage characterizes the normal size of the organ. At the first stage of the increase, the tumor does not deform the neck, but it can be easily probed. In the second stage of increasing the size, this gland significantly distorts the outer bends of the neck when swallowing. In the third stage, the thyroid gland will be visible even to a person who is far from medicine. The fourth stage is characterized by noticeable changes in the appearance of a person, and the fifth is really a giant size of the thyroid gland.

The cause of a large number of diseases and painful symptoms can be a sick thyroid. Elevated blood pressure, heart rhythm disturbance, emotional lability, causeless irritability, drowsiness or insomnia, shortness of breath, fatigue, hair loss and much more are the result of a lack or excess of secreted hormones.

When an excessive amount of hormones secretes thyroid gland, increased blood pressure And heart palpitations are one of the first signs of hyperthyroidism. With increased tone, this gland constantly releases a large number of hormones into the bloodstream, which are converted to energy as energy. Such patients are always very active and with an increased appetite they almost never get fat. In addition, that the excessively active thyroid gland is an increased pressure Almost always, it is also the cause of the constantly increased body temperature - from 37 to 37.5 ^o . Symptoms of hyperfunction can lead to a thyrotoxic crisis, in which all the basic functions of the body are violated.
