Over reactive/hyper thyroid with full body twitches

Hi all

I was recently been diagnosed with an over reactive thyroid in Jan 2023 (previously

always been under active however recent change of dose has caused it to become over reactive at 0.15tsh). Since the start of the year I’ve started experience full body twitching all over my body. My dose changed in the latter part of 2022 & the twitches started a couple months later. Gp was suggesting i have been over treated. Is this a common side affect when you’re with over reactive thyroid/hyperthyroid? I’ve also experienced recent carpal tunnel syndrome which i believe also attributes to over reactive thyroid based on discussion with my gp and personal research. I am now taking levothyroxine medication as advised by m gp to get my thyroid levels back in line. Has anyone experienced similar body twitches and fasciculations All over? They dont last all day. They occur at random times of the day and last seconds. It’s just starting to get worrying & a-bit annoying as its something ive never experienced. Once correctly medicated has anyone had evidence of the twitches reducing?!

Any similar experiences or advise will be appreciated. Thank you.

NB: Some other side effects since experiencing hyperthyroidism

Hair thinning, loss of hair, intermittent hand weakness, & pins & needles.
