Hyperthyroidism vs. Hypothyroidism
Both are disorders of the thyroid gland, but they have opposite effects on the body's metabolism.
Feature
Hyperthyroidism
Hypothyroidism
Thyroid activity
Overactive thyroid
Underactive thyroid
Hormone levels
Too much thyroid hormone
Too little thyroid hormone
Metabolism
Increased
Decreased
Weight
Weight loss despite increased appetite
Weight gain
Heart rate
Fast heartbeat, palpitations
Slow heartbeat
Energy
Nervousness, restlessness, anxiety
Fatigue, sluggishness
Temperature tolerance
Heat intolerance, excessive sweating
Cold intolerance

Constipation
Skin & hair

Dry skin; coarse, thinning hair
Sleep
Insomnia
Excessive sleepiness
Common Causes
Hyperthyroidism
Graves' Disease
Toxic multinodular goiter
Thyroiditis (inflammation of the thyroid)
Hypothyroidism
Hashimoto's Thyroiditis
Thyroid surgery or radioactive iodine treatment
Iodine deficiency (in some regions)
Diagnosis
Doctors typically measure:
Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH)
Free T4 and sometimes T3 levels
Typical lab results:
Hyperthyroidism: Low TSH, high T4/T3
Hypothyroidism: High TSH, low T4
Treatment
Hyperthyroidism
Antithyroid medications
Radioactive iodine therapy
Surgery (in some cases)
Hypothyroidism
Thyroid hormone replacement, usually with Levothyroxine
Easy way to remember
Hyper = High/Fast → increased metabolism, weight loss, fast pulse.
Hypo = Low/Slow → decreased metabolism, weight gain, fatigue.
If you'd like, I can also provide a simple mnemonic or a diagram comparing the two conditions.
