I had something called hashimotos!.!.!.a thyroid disease that makes you sometimes hyper and sometimes hypo!.!.!.!.so one day I had heart palps and the next day I couldn't stay awake!. It took a long time for them to figure it out,,,,actually, they never did until after I had an unrelated surgery and they saw the thyroid!.
besides getting tested for TSH (level of thyroid hormones that decide if you are hypo or hyper) make sure you have them check you antibodies- if you have them, then you have hashi's!. read up on it at mayoclinic!.com
apart from all that!. you are at an age that I would not repeat for ten million dollars!. But remember, this too shall pass!. sometimes we overestimate problems and underestimate our own strength to deal with it all!. keep on working to take good care of yourself, try to find something you like doing to help pass the time!.!.!.!.I find doing something for others makes me feel better!. also, there is a www!.depressionsupportgroup!.com that has a list of things to do when you aren't feeling great that you may like!. keep going forward!. good luck and good health!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well I have a thyroid disorder and I can tell you thats what happens to me when I dont take my medicine!. I've had it since about i was 7 years old and Im 15 now!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You have a few of the symptoms of a thyroid disorder, so it's good you are getting it checked!. But not all of your symptoms match that, so I'm guessing there are some other unrelated things going on!.

Graves is an autoimmune disorder that can involve more than the thyroid!. Good luck on your tests!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
