Hypothyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland fails to produce enough thyroid hormones. This can lead to a slowing down of the body’s metabolic processes. Hypothyroidism is commonly treated with thyroid hormones like levothyroxine.
Hyperthyroidism results from an overactive thyroid gland that produces excessive thyroid hormones. Symptoms may include rapid heart rate, weight loss, anxiety, and heat intolerance. Treatment options may include medication, radioactive iodine therapy, or surgery.
