Hi Chilled,
Yes, the above answers are correct, but I have to tell you this ... you can also be asymptomatic. I was. For each of the symptoms, they usually say "recently" or "in the last 3 months". For me, the changes had occured over years, not recently and not within a span of months. My symptoms looked more like hypothyroidism (sleepiness, depression, forgetfulness) or some weird malady (hungry or sleeping all the time, couldn't climb stairs, etc.) but certainly did not look recently like hyper. Turns out I was so hyper the doc didn't know why I was still alive!
Good luck -- and yes, I am still alive!

I want to start by saying that all of these signs are non-specific, they do not make a diagnosis, no matter how many of them a patient may have, but they are a good reason to be suspicious and to send the appropriate lab work (which starts with a TSH, or thyroid stimulating hormone, level)
Hyperthyroidism can cause many signs and symptoms, most of them related to a general upregulation of metabolism, these signs and symptoms include: anxiety, intolerance of heat, weight loss, fine tremor of the hands, palpitations, hyperactive reflexes, exopthalmus (eyes further forward in their sockets than normal), lid lag (when the patient looks down, there is white visible over the pupil for part of the time during the movement)....
There are others, but those are the ones that come to me offhand...

Hyperthyroidism is characterized by hypermetabolism and elevated serum levels of free thyroid hormones. Symptoms are many but include tachycardia, fatigue, weight loss, and tremor. Diagnosis is clinical and with thyroid function tests. Treatment depends on cause.
Please see the web pages for more details on Hyperthyroidism.

The thyroid gland is positioned at the front of the throat, less than the Adam’s apple. It contains 2 lobes that lie on both part of the windpipe, joined in the front via an isthmus. The thyroid gland secretes hormones to regulate many metabolic approaches, which incorporates boost and potential expenditure. Hypothyroidism skill the thyroid gland is underactive and fails to secrete adequate hormones into the bloodstream. This motives the guy’s metabolism to decelerate.

Thyroid disease is one of the most common health problems we face today. From a practical standpoint, there are many ways to approach this issue. Learn here https://tr.im/uF8ly
Hypothyroidism, or underactive thyroid, is a very common problem, and there are many reasons for this, including drinking chlorinated and fluoridated water, and eating brominated flour.
Chlorine, fluoride, and bromine are all in the same family as iodine, and can displace iodine in your thyroid gland.
Secondly, many people simply aren't getting enough iodine in their diet to begin with. The amount you get from iodized salt is just barely enough to prevent you from getting a goiter.

Sweating, racing heart, panic attacks, weight loss, - all the things you'd expect to feel if your system was in overdrive - eg after a scare.
