Fina, I don't know your age, but are you going through the menopause. I went to the doctors with the symptoms you mention plus weight gain, and had no thyroid problems at all. I had a long chat with my doctor who said that, unfortunately the menopause can also cause the same symptoms. I have now had two or three negative tests for thyroid problems as my doctor likes to keep on eye on things.
Thyroid problems tend to make the hair thinner as well as dryer.
My symptoms were irregular periods, dry skin and hair, feeling cold all the time, fatigue and couldn't think properly.
In most cases an overactive thyroid will make you sweat more, rapid heartbeat, weight loss, increased hunger thinning hair, loss of periods and increased energy.
