Thanks for the consultation at my virtual clinic!
I have carefully worked through your case, and can well realize your health worries. Being your physician, I will take care all of your medical concerns today and will put my best efforts to get you out of this situation.
The symptoms you described seem to be due to thyroid disease (Likely to be Hyperthyroidism).
You need to consult your Primary care physician and ask for the blood work to rule out any thyroid issues and if needed he may refer you to an Endocrinologist too. It is manageable and is very common issue. So no need to panic for that.
Hope I answered all of your questions. Let me know if you have further clinical concerns or doubts. I will be more than happy to get back to you with expert opinion. Please don't forget to give Five Star rating to help me assist my patients in a better way; and, please don't forget to 'Close This Discussion'.

So keep a follow up to see how you doing (Always write down my name in the start of your questions at this forum & I will be with you in no time).
