Weird physical anxiety end of day

45 year old male with a bad thyroid.  My biggest issue is every day around 3:30 or 4 pm regardless of what i am doing i am overwhelmed with anxiety.  My ears start ringing, i get very shaky, i cant think, I feel exhausted and i climb in bed and sleep for an hour.   I don't know if this is related to thyroid or some weird anxiety disorder no one has caught yet.  This is strictly physical, It is like clock work every single day.  Is there any help for me?

I started the shakes today.  I am doing a shake with protein, banana, peanut butter and fat free milk it seems to help me cope with it but not a cure.

Hi...are you being treated for your bad thyroid?  There are several things this could be, and the one thing that stands out to me is low blood sugar.  When this happens try eating something with carbs or sugar and see if you feel better...if you do then it is low blood sugar. Either way you need to contact your Endo doctor to have blood work done to determine what is going on.  I don't feel this is anxiety and with a bad thyroid it could be something related to that.  I hope this helps and let us know if eating at these times helps.
