If you are losing weight without even trying and your hands shake when holding a cup, it could be an overactive thyroid! You might also feel super warm all the time. Don't worry, a quick blood test and a visit to the doc will get you sorted out! 😊

I have helped many people in my family deal with thyroid issues. Common symptoms of hyperthyroidism include a fast heartbeat, unexplained weight loss, anxiety, and trouble sleeping. Please get a T3, T4, and TSH blood test done and consult an endocrinologist for proper treatment.

Actually, my sister had this issue, yaar. She was eating so much but still losing weight, and her heart rate was always touching 100 even while just resting on the sofa. If you are feeling weirdly anxious and sweaty all the time, just get your thyroid levels checked.

I have been feeling very jittery and my heart beats really fast sometimes, but I haven't lost any weight. Is it possible to have an overactive thyroid without the weight loss symptom? I am a bit nervous to go to the doctor alone.

An overactive thyroid can make your mind and body feel like they are running too fast, leading to anxiety and hand tremors. Gentle pranayama like Shheetali or Ujjayi can help calm your nervous system. However, please consult a physician first to get your hormone levels checked and balanced medically.
