Hi, I am a 21 yr. old female that was recently diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and hypoglycemia. My symptoms included dizzy spells, headaches, vomiting, weightloss, feelings of faintness, leg cramps, and for the last few weeks I have had mid back pain. I was wondering if all of these are symptoms of hypoglycemia and hyperthyroidism and how hyperthyroidism and hypoglycemia are related? I have been refered to an endocrinologist but, the soonest I can be seen is two months from now. Thanks for the help!

 Your symptoms are nicely explained by the hyperthyroidism and hypoglycemia.
I suspect that when your hyperthyroidism is better controlled your hypoglycemia will improve. Hyperthyroidism increases the body's metabolic demand and makes sugar control more difficult.
Best wishes.

There are a few possibilities. One is that you may have had a dry throat that subsequently was irritated. A viral infection may also cause this.
Related to the hyperthyroidism, the thyroid gland can enlarge and press on the throat. This should be looked into also.
Best wishes.
