Thyroid storm - Doc Mar

Here are some quick facts about thyroid storms:
Thyroid storm is a life-threatening condition caused by extreme overactivity of the thyroid gland, leading to severe hyperthyroidism.
It often results from untreated or poorly managed Graves' disease or hyperthyroidism, sometimes triggered by stress, infection, surgery, or trauma.
Symptoms include high fever, rapid heart rate (tachycardia), severe anxiety, confusion, profuse sweating, and, in some cases, heart failure.
Immediate medical treatment is essential, often involving beta-blockers, antithyroid medications, and measures to reduce fever and stabilize vital signs.
Untreated thyroid storms can lead to severe complications like heart failure, organ failure, or death, with a mortality rate of up to 30%.
It is a rare but urgent condition that requires emergency medical attention.
