Waking up before your alarm rings can be a sign that you suffer from a debilitating hormonal state that can lead to fatal heart problems, an expert has warned.
An overactive thyroid gland, also known as hyperthyroidism, affects about one in 100 people and means that the body produces too much of a collection of hormones that make us alert.
According to Hormonal disorder specialist Dr. Gaurav Agarwal are early waking the first sign of the condition, because the excess hormones stimulate the nervous system in the early hours.
When untreated, the condition can cause a large number of unpleasant symptoms, such as thin hair, dry eyes, neck swelling, anxiety and unintended weight loss.
But most worries are life -changing complications such as weakening of bones and irregular heartbeats that can lead to fatal heart failure.
Pregnant women have to hurry to be treated because it can increase the risk of premature birth and a miscarriage.
The situation is “relatively common in the UK,” said Dr. Agarwal, but many miss the early signs.
‘It is seen more often in women than men, usually between 20 to 40 years old. ‘
