lybrate-user, Hyperthyroidism is a hormonal disorder, occurring due to excess activity of thyroid gland. Only treatment for this is taking anti - thyroid drugs (Neomercazole), plus betablockers to reduce palpitations. There is no Ayurvedic treatment. If you still want to go for it then choice is yours. Thanks.

Dear Mr. lybrate-user, If your blood thyroid hormone levels are well controlled with 10 mg of Neomercazole, than there is no need for any specific diet. Only if the symptoms recur inspite of Neomercazole, you can consider radioactive iodine as a permanent solution for hyperthyroidism.

Hello, Thanks for the query.
It appears you are having hyperthyroidism. This condition is treated with drugs like Methimazole or carbimazole. The treatment has to go on for 18 to 24 months, before the excess activity is controlled. Once proper control is achieved, treatment is discontinued. In some cases the gland may again become over active. Then further treatment is necessary. If the activity is further increased then treatment may have to be reconsidered.

Mabashasji, Treatment of hyperthyroidism (Neomercazole 10 mg), has to continue for at least 12 to 18 months. If thyroid function returns to normal with TSH levels increasing, then drugs are stopped. In some cases, patients remain free of any symptoms for a fairly long time. In a few symptoms return in some moths, then other options of treatment are considered.

If hyper thyroidism detected in first 3 months of pregnancy the first choice is ptu but subsequent 6 months pregnancy nmz (neomercazole) can be safely taken under close supervision of doctor as frequent 4-6 weekly thyroid testing needed so auto avoid under or overdosing.

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query.
You have a problem of excessively active thyroid gland, which is called as Hyperthyroidism. If you do not like the word, I can not help it. This situation needs treatment with antithyroid drugs like Neomercazole or propythioracil. You will have to come in a private conversation (paid consultation) for getting proper prescription for this condition. Or else consult a local endocrinologist closer to your area. Thanks.

Your will need a dose adjustment of neomercazole along with appropriate supplementation with levothyroxine, depending on your symptoms. In your case I would check for appropriate thyroid antibodies to rule out "Graves disease" If this tests positive then I would recommend supplements that and control inflammation and modulate immunity. At some point of time you may have to consider Surgery or Radioactive ablation of thyroid.
