Brief Answer:
Yes it is possible

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

hyperthyroidism (thyroid hormones in excess) may cause all that along with weight loss, muscle weakness, sweating, intolerance to heat, increased appetite, etc
The most serious symptoms like muscle weakness and weight loss appear when this condition is not discovered and no treatment has been instituted.

Anxiety is a far more common cause though...
Checking for Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) and perhaps also free T4 and T3 may reveal thyroid dysfunction.

I hope I've helped!
If you'd like further information, please let me know.

Kind Regards!
