A member asked:
Anxiety vs overactive thyroid? i have really bad anxiety, but all my symptoms match up with both anxiety and overactive thyroid...
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Could be both: One of the main symptoms of hyperthyroidism is anxiety so you may have both. The only way to know for sure is see a doctor and be tested. I advise testing Free T3, Free T4, TSH and anti-thyroid antibodies. If you're not hyperthyroid then treat your anxiety, but don't rely only on drugs. B-complex with L--5-MTHF, magnesium, herbs like ashwagandha, exercise, meditation, counseling etc. may help.
