The thyroid is an organ that creates hormones that regulate your body’s use of energy, including your body’s metabolism and heart rate. Problems in the thyroid can cause problems in the reproductive, cardiac, and muscular systems. Hyperthyroidism is a condition wherein the thyroid produces and releases too many hormones. This causes weight loss, irregular heartbeat, and abnormalities in the menstrual cycle in women.
