Question

Because many of the signs and symptoms of hyperthyroidism mimic those of cardiac disease, when caring for an older adult be alert to the possibility that such signs may be indicative of an endocrine disorder rather than a cardiac disorder. Physical and mental rest is extremely important because physical stress and emotional upset can stimulate greater activity in the thyroid gland. Adequate rest is essential to conserve strength, but it is difficult for a person with hyperthyroidism to relax and get sufficient rest.
