What are the symptoms of hyperthyroidism? Over active Being restless, nervous, emotional, irritable, sleeping poorly, and 'always on the go'. Tremor of the hands. Losing weight despite an increased appetite. Palpitations. Sweating and a dislike of heat. Diarrhoea or needing to go to the toilet to pass stools (faeces) more often than normal. Shortness of breath. Skin problems such as hair thinning and itch. Menstrual changes - often the periods become very light or infrequent. Increased thirst. Tiredness and muscle weakness may be a feature. A swelling of the thyroid gland in the neck (goitre) may occur. Eye problems (if you have Graves' disease. See below.) What are the symptoms of hypothyroidism? under active Many symptoms can be caused by a low level of thyroxine. Basically, everything 'slows down'. Not all symptoms develop in all cases. Symptoms that commonly occur include: tiredness, weight gain, constipation, aches and pains, feeling cold, dry skin, lifeless hair, fluid retention, mental slowing, and depression. Less common symptoms include: a hoarse voice, irregular or heavy menstrual periods in women, infertility, carpal tunnel syndrome (which causes pains and numbness in the hand), and memory loss or confusion in the elderly. If you have angina, you may find that your angina pains become more frequent. However, all these symptoms can be caused by other conditions, and sometimes the diagnosis is not obvious. Symptoms usually develop slowly, and gradually become worse over months or years as the level of thyroxine in the body gradually falls.
