I am about 5'8 and weigh about 125 pounds.  I am very thin.  I eat everything I shouldn't eat...bread, pasta, pizza, fast food, chips, etc.  Regardless of my eating habits and not working out I remain thin.  I have major anxiety issues.  My heart races.  My hair is very coarse.  I have a lot of hair but it falls out in handfuls when I take a shower.  I have headaches and allergies year round.  My heart races sometimes.  Sometimes I can feel it/ hear it when I am laying down to go to sleep.  My hands shake sometimes too and I just feel like I'm on overdrive inside, yet I am exhausted.  If I wake up early in the morning I'm tired but can't fall back asleep.  I had thyroid tests done about a year ago and they came back normal.  My mother has MS and HYPERTHYROID.  She had to have it burned out.  I feel like I'm going crazy.  I need a really good endocrinologist who will do extensive testing and hopefully find an answer.  Does anyone know of an amazing doctor in my area?  I live in Long Island, New York.

I would ge to endocrinologist as soon as possible...keep in mind that if you dont take care of this it can lead to other complications. Can your primary doctor reccomend someone for you... keep us posted....good luck..
