Is this normal?

I have hypothyroidism. Recently I have experienced an increase in hairloss, fatigue. Not to mention feel a fullness in my neck and at times it feels as if somone is choking me ( I did not have any kind of surgery on my neck). My Doc check my blood work and ordered me a ultrasound of my thyroid. My blood work showed that I have went from being very hypo to very hyper thyroid in only a month. The ultra sound showed a bilateral inhomogenous thyroid gland with multiple inhomogenous areas with no specific area to measure. (I asked for a copy of it) I am waiting for them to get back to me. I feel anxious at times and cannot catch my breath. I have went to my Doc last week already for these symptoms and she gave me an inhalor (does not help). I feel like I have been blown off. Is this normal symptoms? and dose anyone know if that is a normal ultrasound reading? I am so sorry if this was too long and drawn out, but I am really getting nervous about the whole thing

I went from hypo to hyper and not from medication. It's rare but it can happen- my regular doctor was like 'just take less medication' but I knew something was really wrong so I reccomend going to an endo if you don't already.  You should have more tests.

Your symptoms are normal hyperthyroid symptoms and your body will be going through turmoil from a quick change from having a high TSH to a low TSH. However that is quite a big change in your thyroid hormone levels so talk to a specialist. You also do not want to be having hyper symptoms but trying to achieve a no symptoms/normal thyroid status. Your thyroxine dosage may be too high (i take it you are on thyroxine) - what dosage are you on?
