Hyperthyroid: Some symptoms of hyperthyroidism are: feeling nervous, fast heartbeat, weight loss, feeling hot, trouble sleeping, feeling anxious, sweating heavily, muscle weakness, increased appetite, frequent bowel movement...Some hyperthyroid patients will have 1-2 symptoms, some have all of them and some have none of them at all. The only way to know for sure is to get a blood test.

"Hyper": Patients who are very hyperthyroid may feel like they've had a whole pot of coffee to drink. Symptoms include difficulty sleeping/fatigue, increased stool frequency, heat intolerance, heart palpitations, tremors, moodiness, weight loss, increased appetite, etc.
