The accelerator: Thyroid hormone regulates many metabolic functions like heart rate - excess will give tachycardia (fast heart rate) , weight loss, but not the good kind(you will loose muscle too), osteoporosis (even spontaneous fractures), excessive sweating, heat intolerance, shakiness and many others.
