@alexandriagarcia0611 Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. The symptoms you describe sound like both hyper and hypothyroidism! Curious! I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism / Graves Disease about 25 years ago by an endocrinologist. She treated me with a medication. She also told me it was not uncommon for the condition to flip to hypothyroidism over time. Your story reminded me of that. I took the medication for a while and my thyroid levels became normal. I’m no longer on the medication and my condition hasn’t “flipped” but my endocrinologist continues to monitor me. It is good that you have an appointment coming up with endocrinology. That is the best specialty to sort this out and develop a treatment that works for you. Perhaps you can share this discussion with your provider at your appointment. Make sure the Dr. sees the list of symptoms that you’ve been dealing with.

@cehunt57 thank you! I do experience symptoms of both hyper and hypo and its horrible. I had a week ago my most recent appointment and they are having me take another set of labs, they said this will be my confirmation. Both my TSH and T4 levels are still elevated. They still don't know what the issue is. I didn't know you could have hypo and hyper either, thank you for sharing.
