I’ve a lot of sweating, pulse in ear, weak immune system, weight gain, huge legs, heavy periods, heavy cramps due to period, a lot of hair growth and I'm 15. Do you think I’ve an overactive or underactive thyroid.


Answer:
You can divide your symptoms into both.
Hyperthyroid: sweating, fast pulse
Hypothyroid: weight gain (rarely can be hyper), heavy periods
Hair growth can be any endocrine imbalance, and bad cramps can just happen. It might be worthwhile to check hormone levels, because your symptoms seem like they're due to something going on with your endocrine system.

Answer:
That would be under active. my mom and cousin both had thyroid removed from overactive. weight lose is over active
