Thyroid Storm
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
The endocrinologist is the reference specialist in the presence of thyroid storm, a rare but serious medical emergency in which the activity of thyroid hormone rises extremely and disrupts the functioning of the entire body.
Common symptoms: high fever, very rapid heartbeat, agitation or confusion, intense sweating, and general malaise that appears abruptly.
When to seek care? Because of its emergency nature, it requires immediate attention, which is why the emergency physician is usually the first to intervene.
Which specialist treats it? After the initial stabilization, the endocrinologist -and the pediatric endocrinologist in minors- follows up on the control of the thyroid. If you know someone with thyroid problems and these symptoms, the indicated thing is to seek care without delay.
