Hyperthyroidism is an endocrine disorder characterized by excess thyroid hormone production. Its classic symptoms include weight loss, palpitations, tremors, and anxiety. We present a case of a 33-year-old female who initially presented with anxiety-like symptoms, leading to a misdiagnosis of generalized anxiety disorder. Upon further evaluation, the patient was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism, highlighting the importance of evaluating endocrine causes in patients presenting with anxiety-like symptoms. This case report underscores the significance of a comprehensive medical evaluation in patients with anxiety to avoid misdiagnoses and ensure appropriate management.
甲状腺功能亢进是一种内分泌紊乱疾病，其特征是甲状腺激素分泌过多。其典型症状包括体重减轻、心悸、震颤和焦虑。我们报告一例33岁女性病例，该患者最初表现出类似焦虑的症状，导致被误诊为广泛性焦虑症。经过进一步评估，该患者被诊断为甲状腺功能亢进，这凸显了对出现类似焦虑症状的患者评估内分泌病因的重要性。本病例报告强调了对焦虑患者进行全面医学评估以避免误诊并确保适当治疗的重要性。
