Can overactive thyroid cause panic attacks

I just got diagnosed as my thyroid being low 2 and a half weeks ago.This is like when you are telling your kid/ spouse/ coworker/ pet/ friend to do something and they do not listen and so you have to telling them over and over again.Can thyroid cause anxiety and panic attacks?There are those with hyperthyroidism that show no symptoms, or show symptoms so minor that they never realize they have a thyroid problem.I have had this problem for the past 8 years.Some people may be misdiagnosed as having panic disorder or heart problems.

Hypothyroid doesn't generally cause the rapid heartbeat and fast breathing most associated with panic attacks, but it can cause rapid thoughts and unusual fatigued thinking.Obviously, not all panic attacks or anxiety is from a thyroid condition but it is important to be worked up for it just to rule it out.An overactive thyroid is not always a problem.When your thyroid gland is under attack, thyroid hormones can spill over into the bloodstream triggering anxiety and even heart palpitations.The impact of stress on the thyroid occurs by slowing your body's metabolism.Stress alone will not cause a thyroid disorder, but it can make the condition worse.
