Possible Overactive Thyroid Issue

[jvandag]

My girlfriend and i have been dating for over three years now and in the time that i have known her she has always had problems with stomach pain and headaches. These of course being general symptoms that are always prevelent out of the mass that exists. I think she may have an overactive thyroid because of the symptoms that she has and that perhaps it is causing other problems as well. Below i have indicated most of the common and uncommon symptoms she has experienced both in the past and, more frequent, recently. Since most of her symptoms have flared up in the past year we have gone to numerous professionals seeking help. She has had everything from a full blood work up to an endoscopy to a cat scan to an ekg done and yet we have come no closer to an answer or a solution since we began. If you have any questions or perhaps some suggestions on what we might be able to do please reply to this post. Thank you.

Common Symptoms:
- Headache (moderate to severe, lasting 1-5 hours)
- Stomach Pain (moderate to severe)
- Upset Stomach
- Nausea
- Vomiting (induced or not, every 1-8 days)
- Tiredness
- Anxiety

Uncommon Symptoms:
- Dizziness (upon standing)

- Panic Attacks (brought on by large crowds or small spaces)
- Mood Swings
- Diarrhea (moderate and brought on by certain foods)

This is a thyroid forum -- would test her thyroid, but she really needs a general medicine evaluation.

These do not sound like symptoms of a thyroid problem.
