Do I have a Tumour?

I have recently started having high blood pressure, tachycardia, sweating a lot especially on my left side, some personality changes ( i used to be very shy and suddenly i am very talkative-even with strangers although i have somewhat trouble speaking as it feels if i can not get certain words out, and get confused with words) i also have mood swings ranging from extreme irritability to depression, i have head aches, but it is not with unbearable pain as asprin usually alleviates the pain. i am clumsy, although i have for the most part always been somewhat clumsy. i feel dizzy,although that has only happened a couple of times, especially when i eat sugar, but not always. i have had 2 or 3 ecgs that confirmed the problem is not with my heart. i have had blood tests showing my thryroid and kidneys function normally, my iron an blood count is also normal.
What is wrong with me?!

The first blood test I had showed my thyroid was hyperactive, but 2 days later when I had another test done ( I am not sure what exactly was tested for) my thyroid was functioning normally. The dr has put me on Concor 2.5mg for 3 months whereafter I have to go for tests again. I started getting woried about a tumour when I started having personality changes and have some difficulty speaking

If all they tested for the thyroid was the TSH, you may request other more detailed tests to diagnose ANY type of thyroid issues.

You can try the thyroid form on here as well. In my opinion, it sounds like you may be swinging between hypo & hyper.
