How likely is it to have hyperthyroidism?


i recently went in to be treated for bronchitis and the dr. noticed my left hand was shaking. She then found out I've lost 10 lbs in 5 weekds. My heart rate was 120 (i think) when she checked. And occasionally, I get very fatigued. I also have problems doing extensive walking because I get a little out of breath, it's like if I don't stop, I can't breathe and my leg muscles feel weak (only when I hike realy big hills :) )
