Common Symptoms Of Thyroid Disorders You Need To Know

Tremors and muscle weakness

Manifesting as a fine trembling of the fingers and hands, too much T4 will cause you to experience tremors and shaking in your extremities. More severely, it can lead to muscle weakness, known as hyperthyroid myopathy or thyrotoxic myopathy. You experience weakness in your muscles as the tissues are broken down by the excess T4 in your body, thereby making everyday activities like climbing stairs, moving around, and carrying heavy objects, for instance, more difficult. Without proper treatment, this type of myopathy can have serious implications.
