What are signs or symptoms of a thyroid problem or disorder?

Question

Hello, I have not had mine checked yet, but one of my doctors (for anxiety) told me to because I have anxiety and night sweats. I am in the process of finding a doctor to do blood work for me to get it checked. In the meantime though, can you tell me what other signs or symptoms are associated with thyroid?

Thanks

P.S.. I am 27 year old female, if that makes a difference.

Answer 1

Underactive thyroid:  Sleeping a lot, cold, putting on weight.  This is what I have had for 33 years.  Medication ends all of the above.

Overactive I'm not sure maybe someone else will answer that for you.

Answer 2

excessive tiredness, weight gain, cold extremities (hands, feet)

for years i had those symptoms and my thyroid tests only came back 'slightly high' - each dr did not put me on medication

finally i found 1 dr who did - my symptoms went away
