symptoms associated with an over production of thyroid hormone.

of our metabolism. These hormones have direct effects on our
organs, including the heart which beats faster and harder under
the influence of thyroid hormones. As a result, cells in the body
responds to elevated levels of thyroid hormone with increased
rate at which they conduct its function.
