So, if you\u2019re noticing changes in how often you\u2019re running to the bathroom, it could be connected to your thyroid health.<\/p>\n

3. Excessive thirst<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If you have an overactive thyroid, symptoms can vary from person to person.<\/p>\n

So, if you\u2019re feeling extra thirsty, don\u2019t panic just yet \u2014 but it\u2019s a good idea to keep an eye on other signs like unexpected weight loss, shaky hands, feeling exhausted, anxiety attacks, or lightheadedness. If you notice a few of these symptoms along with that excessive thirst, it might be time to see your doctor and get things checked out. It\u2019s always better to be safe and catch any issues early.<\/p>\n

4. Unusually fast heart rate<\/h2>\n

Hyperthyroidism, or having too much thyroid hormone, is rare, affecting less than 1% of people. But it can still have a serious impact on your heart.<\/p>\n

Some common signs include trouble sleeping, feeling too hot, sweating a lot, weight loss, feeling constantly hungry, and having loose stools. Too much thyroid hormone makes your heart work harder and faster, which can lead to abnormal heart rhythms, like atrial fibrillation, where the heart\u2019s upper chambers beat out of sync. You might also feel palpitations, which is that sudden, uncomfortable awareness of your heartbeat.<\/p>\n

High blood pressure is another possible symptom. For people with blocked or stiff heart arteries, the combination of a racing heart and high blood pressure could even lead to chest pain. If you\u2019re noticing these symptoms, it\u2019s definitely worth talking to your doctor.<\/p>\n

5. Swelling in your neck<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A goitre is a lump or swelling at the front of your neck caused by an enlarged thyroid. Your thyroid is a small gland that makes hormones, and when it gets bigger, it can form a goitre.<\/p>\n

While goitres aren\u2019t usually a big concern, it\u2019s a good idea to have a doctor check it out. The main sign of a goitre is a swelling at the front of the neck, and it\u2019s usually painless. If you notice anything like this, it\u2019s best to get it checked by your GP just to be sure.<\/p>\n

The swelling usually\u00a0ap<\/a>pears<\/a>\u00a0at the lower front of the neck. You may also have other symptoms, including:<\/p>\n
