You would need to get thyroid function blood tests to find out for sure if you have hyperthyroidism. You would likely have other symptoms as well-like weight loss in spite of eating normally, insomnia, etc. So, see your doctor and get the blood tests done to see if you have any thyroid problems. Good luck!

Having dry eyes upon first awakening isn't unusual. Fatigue,leg weakness can be due to anemia & iron deficiency. A medical examination and testing are indicated in view of your symptoms. Thyroid panel can be ordered then.
