Doctors recko more people could actually have a thyroid problem because most people don't realise they have any symptoms of it and don't have a test done, I'd just see what the GP says because if you do have then you really only need to take meds for it it's not really a mild thing so I suggest you just ask the GP for a blood test easily done no hospital referrals or stays.

I don't mean to be nosey but can I ask how old you are ?

I had/have a lot of the symptoms of an overactive thyroid and the doctors have tested me twice in a few years, but my results have always been normal. Also just to be clear, the doctors thought I had it, not me googling! I have more symptoms than you just all the time and I actually at one point hoped I would have an overactive thyroid as it would be an explanation other than just anxiety and more easily treated.
But nope, it's just the way I am and if you are worried then get a blood test to rule it out!
