Sometimes it is hard to know that it is hyperthyroidism that you are dealing with. Symptoms of hyperthyroidism can be the same as those experienced with anxiety disorders. That's why it is always a good idea to have your thyroid function checked to be sure.
Hyperthyroid symptoms can also worsen gradually over time. Women can have an overactive thyroid for many months or even years and not even recognize it until the symptoms finally get severe in nature. In older women, the symptoms may be only depression or weight loss or both without any of the other symptoms.
It's always a good idea to get checked out by your doctor and also find out what your options are. Ask your doctor if there are natural ways to help with this condition.
