Common symptoms of an overactive thyroid
As well as triggering a number of emotional and internal reactions, an overactive thyroid can also present itself physically in a number of ways and on many different parts of the body.
Symptoms can be subtle and even go unnoticed for a number of weeks, though for some people they can come on more suddenly and feel more severe.
It is important to track symptoms in order to link them back to specific triggers which can help determine whether they are thyroid-related.

- Swelling in the neck caused by an enlarged thyroid gland
- Irregular or unusually fast heart rate
- Twitching and trembling
- Warm skin/ excessive sweating
- Red palms of the hands
- Loose nails
- A raised itchy rash – hives
- Patchy hair loss – thinning of the hair
