It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see a doctor, preferably an endocrinologist. Wish you good health!

Yes, hyperthyroidism have to be treated promptly, it remains unclear if all your symptoms are caused by it. Your doc remains your best resource and an endocrinologist may be needed, if not already involved.
