Hi. I am a 24 yr old female. I have been having symptoms of anxiety, nervousness and irritability. I put this down to stress but I usually can cope with it quite well. Iv experienced panic attacks too. But I have recently learned that hyperthyroidism runs in my family so Im not sure what it could be?
Hi, I can understand your concern regarding your symptoms. The symptoms that you have mentioned can be due to anxiety or depression. A thyroid profile will be needed to rule out if underlying thyroid disorder is the cause for the same. Accordingly, you can be treated for any underlying cause. In addition, it will be recommended that you consult a psychiatrist. Treatment with medications like selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors is safe as well as effective for your symptoms. You can also start exercising regularly as that will also help control your symptoms. Hope this information was helpful. Best wishes.
