Hi,

Thanks for writing in.

The symptomayology of your son is suggestive of either anxiety or a hormonal imbalance such as thyroid disorder.

My opinion is that it is likely due to anxiety. Hyperthyroidism can causesuch symptomsnbut is also associated with other features such as fever, weight loss, excess appetite, heat intolerance. You have mentioned that he is otherwise healthy.

Anxiety can be the cause. However, its a diagnosis of exclusion.
Therfore, please wait for the thyroid results.

Also consider getting an ECHO done which can dilineate if there is any cardiac cause.

Hope this answers your query.

Please get back if you need any further assistance.

Sincerely,

Dr Kiran
