Did your doctor tell you what types of tests she plans to do or what conditions she may be looking for? From what you have shared, I wonder if you may have an overactive thyroid gland. This condition is called hyperthyroidism. Symptoms include:
* Sudden weight loss, even when your appetite and diet remain normal or even increase
* Rapid heartbeat (tachycardia) — commonly more than 100 beats a minute — irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia) or pounding of your heart (palpitations)
* Increased appetite
* Nervousness, anxiety and irritability
* Tremor — usually a fine trembling in your hands and fingers
* Sweating
* Changes in menstrual patterns
* Increased sensitivity to heat
* Changes in bowel patterns, especially more frequent bowel movements
* An enlarged thyroid gland (goiter), which may appear as a swelling at the base of your neck
* Fatigue, muscle weakness
* Difficulty sleeping
Some of your symptoms match. Talk with your doctor about what she thinks may be possible causes of your symptoms. It is not likely that pregnancy is the reason for how you are feeling.
