A person with hyperthyroidism has to be treated by a specialist in that area and regular check-ups are needed while on treatment. Tablets are taken at the same time every day. To reduce symptoms one needs to: avoid stress, have a balanced diet, avoid caffeine, because they can make heartbeat and nervousness worse, wear sunglasses to protect the eyes, quit smoking and elevate the head of the bed to keep the head higher than the body to reduce blood flow to the head and to help relieve pressure on the eyes.
