Thyrotoxicosis means that there is too much thyroid hormone in the blood, and the thyroid is overactive. This is also known as hyperthyroidism. Teritary means that it is a result of another problem, such as the pituitary gland not functioning properly.
Secondary hyperthyroidism, is caused by the pituitary secreting too much Thyroid Stiumlating Hormone, in turn causing the thyroid to overproduce hormones. Treatment of the underlying problem is key to getting the thyroid to function properly.
Thyrotoxicosis is also a term to describe thyroid storm, a serious medical emergency where there is a dangerous amount of thyroid hormone in the blood causing cardiac complications.
Teritary thyrotoxicosis is a thyroid problem caused by another underlying condition causing the thyroid to become overactive. This is not as common as primary hyperthyroidism.

Thyrotoxicosis is a condition where thyroid hormones are elevated because some type of other disease or condition is causing the thyroid to produce excess hormones.
I am guessing that tertiary thyrotoxicosis is a situation where there the problem is caused by pathway that involves several steps - such as an antibody in the blood that causes another type of gland to produce a substance that inhibits the chemicals that regulate thyroid hormone release (a three-step chain reaction).

Making dietary changes is your first line of defense in treating hypothyroidism. Learn here https://tr.im/oI77d
Many people with hypothyroidism experience crippling fatigue and brain fog, which prompts reaching for non-nutritional forms of energy like sugar and caffeine. I’ve dubbed these rascals the terrible twosome, as they can burn out your thyroid (and destabilize blood sugar).
1. Just say no to the dietary bungee cord. Greatly reduce or eliminate caffeine and sugar, including refined carbohydrates like flour, which the body treats like sugar. Make grain-based carbohydrates lesser of a focus, eating non-starchy vegetables to your heart’s content.
2. Up the protein. Protein transports thyroid hormone to all your tissues and enjoying it at each meal can help normalize thyroid function. Proteins include nuts and nut butters; quinoa; hormone- and antibiotic-free animal products (organic, grass-fed meats, eggs, and sustainably-farmed fish); and legumes.
