What is thyroid disease?

What are the symptoms of hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism?

Hyperthyroidism symptoms may include weight loss, rapid heart rate, anxiety, and heat intolerance. Hypothyroidism symptoms can include fatigue, weight gain, constipation, cold sensitivity, and depression. Both types can affect mood, metabolism, and overall energy levels.

What are the types of thyroid disease?

The two main types are:

Hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid): This happens when the thyroid doesn't produce enough hormones. Common causes include:

  • Hashimoto’s disease

  • Iodine deficiency

  • Congenital hypothyroidism

Hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid): This occurs when the thyroid makes too much hormone. It may be caused by:

  • Graves’ disease

  • Thyroid nodules

  • Excess iodine

Some conditions, such as thyroiditis or postpartum thyroiditis, may cause a temporary phase of hyperthyroidism followed by hypothyroidism.


What’s the difference between hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism?

Hyperthyroidism vs hypothyroidism comes down to hormone levels: hyperthyroidism involves too much thyroid hormone, speeding up body functions; hypothyroidism involves too little, slowing them down. Your doctor will help determine which condition you may have based on your symptoms and test results.

Can I get thyroid disease treatment online?

You can request thyroid disease treatment online by completing a quick questionnaire and booking a consultation with an InstantScripts doctor. Your doctor will assess your symptoms and may prescribe tests or medication if appropriate.

Can I get thyroid medication through InstantScripts?

If clinically suitable, your doctor can prescribe thyroid medication for hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism. Prescriptions can be sent to your pharmacy or to your inbox. You can also opt to get your medication delivered directly to your home via our partner, Evermed.

What if I need to adjust my treatment?

Thyroid levels can fluctuate, so it’s common to need dose changes accordingly. You can request a follow-up consultation with an available doctor at any time to review your hyperthyroidism treatments or hypothyroidism medication.

Thyroid disease refers to a range of conditions that affect how your thyroid gland functions. The two main types are hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) and hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid), each with different causes, symptoms, and treatment approaches.
