If you're experiencing muscle weakness or decreased muscle mass, there's a good chance it's related to your hyperthyroidism. At the same time, knowing that other causes might be at play is essential.
After I was diagnosed with Graves’ disease, I experienced a noticeable loss of muscle mass associated with hyperthyroidism. Years later, I was walking with my daughter, and one of my legs started giving out. That was the first time I've ever experienced something like that, and it turned out to be a symptom of chronic Lyme disease.
I can't emphasize this enough: you always want to identify and address the root cause of your symptoms.
Today I’m talking about the connection between muscle weakness and hyperthyroidism, exploring other causes such as electrolyte imbalances, medications, and infections, how to test for decreased muscle mass, what you can do to address the cause of your symptoms, and more.
