Brief Answer:
It is hyperthyroidism

Detailed Answer:
Hello, Thank you for posting your question on HealthcareMagic.
By your reports looks like you have hyperthyroidism or excess secretion of thyroid hormone.
The further step would be to get an ultrasound scan of the thyroid gland and see an endocrinologist.
By the other reports the cause looks like autoimmune .
You will need to be started on medications to lower the thyroid secretion .
If you have any chest pain or palpitations please go the Emergency and get an ECG done.
You need the medication to be started early
Hope this helps
Best wishes

Brief Answer:
No need to wait

Detailed Answer:
Hello again, if this is on Eltroxin please stop it and don't give the dose tomorrow.
And take her to the doctor who started it tomorrow itself.
If she continues on the same dose TSH may drop further.
It is better her dose is changed and she is re evaluated if possible tomorrow.
Best wishes
