has the thirst got anything to do with the losing sweat? i was thinking that maybe the decrease in body volume in sweating stimulates the production of aldosterone and hence produces thirst...but i'm not sure though!

In hyperthyroidism,the body's metabolism is very much more quicker than normal person,so much heat is produced and there's a lot of sweating.
Sweating leads to decease in body water (water loss is more than loss of salts) and increase in tonicity of blood,which all leads to secretion of angiotensin 2 which stimulate the thirst center in the brain to cause thirst sensation.
Aldosterone don't cause thirst.Angiotensin 2 also stimulate secretion of aldosterone too.Aldosterone is responsible for reserving body fluids and salts by decresing urine volume.

I am hypo and always thirsty, I think it has to do with your slow metabolisation including water. It effects you whole system.
