Hi everyone, I got diagnosed with hyperthyroidism 7 months ago and graves disease. Ive always had a fast heart rate over 120 one day it spiked to 180 then I went to the ER and eventually getting diagnosed. I have a large goiter still after taking medicine, hair loss everytime I take a shower. I have a few questions, should I be changing my diet and going gluten? Should I not be drinking any (alcohol) what should I do about my goiter I find it embarrassing.. thank you.

Goiter and graves disease are auto immune disorders. Experimenting with diet changes
may help alleviate symptoms, and reducing or eliminating consumption of alcohol would
probably be a good idea regardless. Are you on any meds for either, and/or osteoporosis?
