Tell me about it... i was very hyper indeed... sweats, palpitations, feeling sick ..dizzy ,very fast sitting pulse rate, cant think straight etc etc... that has been sorted , but now have gone slightly Hypo with all virtually the same symptoms ..are you on any meds ??

[danid1989 in reply to MrsR]

I have also been confused by having hyper symptoms although I am hypo?

I suffer terribly with increased sweating when I am at work or doing simple housework!!

It has previously been blamed on my menopause, but I have always said it isnt a flush, more like I get hot and I can't cool down! That said both my Menopause and Hypothyroidism have taken years to be diagnosed as my blood tests always came back as 'normal'.

so its possible to have symtoms before blood tests even show? i got sick in january and havent been the same since. yet my blood tests were all ok until april time x

[LozzA59]

Defintely possible. I even discovered that one of our practice nurses had the same problem!
