What if I have symptoms of both hyper-thyroid and hypo-thyroid?
I am experiencing symptoms of both sides of thyroid disease. Is this possible that it is a thyroid problem or would it be more of a hormonal problem?
You cannot have both conditions concurrently. It must be either one or the other, either hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism. This is how we say it and you can use the same terminology. Click on these links for symptoms and more information, including diagnostic tests.

I strongly suggest that you be seen by a doctor for an eval and a diagnosis.

Possibly a symptom of reading too many medical websites!
Honestly, many symptoms exist in mild forms in healthy people. It’s easy to diagnose lots of illnesses from the descriptions. (e.g. colon cancer – main symptom can be bleeding from the rectum and change in bowel habits….also symptoms of haemarroids and change in eating patterns)
It’s only when a number of symptoms are consistently present, together with risk factors that a tentative diagnosis (to be confirmed with blood tests) would be made. If you have severe symptoms of anything, get checked out at the doctor.
