It may be due to fluctuations in hormones around the time of a period. Oestrogen is an anti thyroid hormone so maybe when it drops, your hyperthyroidism is worse so making you more anxious (a big problem when hyper)

I do! It started happening more so after the birth of my son in 2009.

Do you have subclinical hyperthyroid? If so, have you been treated?
