Hello,
I have gone carefully through your query.
Over active thyroid or hyperthyroidism can cause these symptoms in severe stages and usually it is associated with other symptoms such as: fast heart rate or palpitation, weight loss, sweating, diarrhoea ect.
Your treating physician will prescribe medications to lower the thyroid hormonal level and will try to find the cause of over active thyroid (autoiimune thyroiditis, nodular goiter ect).
