Recently diagnosed with hyperthyroidism, what do I expect?

I need to know what to expect. I went to the doctor because my breasts were lactating and Im not pregnant. They did bloodwork. All I got was a phone call telling me it's hyperthyroidism, that I'll have an ultrasound and be sent to a specialist out of town. They didn't tell me what to expet as far as symptoms. Well lately, besides my breasts, I've also been very tired shortly after I wake up. I will be awake a few hours and literally start nodding out. So I nap. If I don't nap for at least two hours the nodding out continues. Thats new. I've also become very ocd and very clean. I've always had very mild ocd, but now it's getting worse. And I've never bwen a super clean person but now if I don't have all the dishes out of the sink before bed, it's the first thing I do in the morning. And that's just an example. My house never used to be spotless. But it is now. Like I cannot sit down. I always feel like there is more to do. Is that a symptom? What about short term memory loss? That's been an issue lately too. Are all these related or am I overreacting??? I've found things onlin. But I don't always truse websites. I'd rather hear it from real people.
