At 30 years old, one would not expect a major medical condition, but this young woman came to the clinic because she had been to her local GP, who had diagnosed her condition as hyperthyroidism, having carried out a series of blood tests and a thyroid scan that proved positive.
She initially went to her doctor when she became concerned because her anxiety levels had suddenly increased, her heart was racing, she was having trouble sleeping and she felt like her whole system had speeded up. She was becoming increasingly irritable and restless, was very fatigued and was losing weight.
