Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

Reading the question, we are asked to identify which symptom pattern fits hyperthyroidism from the given options.
Option 1: 'weight gain, feeling cold and tired, and a puffy face.' This cluster is more characteristic of hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) rather than hyperthyroidism, which tends to cause weight loss and heat intolerance.
Option 2: 'weight loss, sweating and increased resting heart rate' This set aligns well with classic hyperthyroid signs: unintended weight loss due to accelerated metabolism, sweating from heightened sympathetic activity, and tachycardia (increased resting heart rate) from increased metabolic demand and hormonal effects.
Option 3: 'abnormal secondary hair growth' While thyroid disorders can impact hair, hyperthyroidism typically presents with hair that is fine or thinning, not specifically abnormal secondary hair growth. This phrasing is not a standard hallmark of hyperthyroid presentation.
Option 4: 'hyperglycaemia, polyuria and polyphagia' This triad is more characteristic of uncontrolled diabetes mellitus (hyperglycemia leading to polyuria and polyphagia), not a primary feature of hyperthyroidism.
In summary, Option 1 misattributes the clinical picture to hypothyroidism, Option 3 and Option 4 describe patterns not typical for hyperthyroidism, while Option 2 captures the classic hyperthyroid symptom cluster. Therefore, Option 2 best matches the expected presentation for hyperthyroidism.
