Can Both Hypothyroidism And Hyperthyroidism Happen Together In A Person?

Can you have both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism? My biological family has a medical history of thyroid problems so that is the only reason I believe my symptoms may be related to that. My thyroid A month and half ago I began experiencing symptoms where I would wake up 2-4 times a night heavily perspiring and my heart was racing. My doctor put me on 20 mg of Celexa and Xanax at night, but the problems persisted for another three weeks. Now, two weeks later (6 weeks of symptoms), I still wake up, but do not have a racing heart. I cannot regular my temperature (either really hot or really cold), I am extremely weak arm and leg muscles, and I have developed a small tremor which I notice when I am holding something. Any ideas or recommendations on who to see would be so very appreciated.

HI
Well come to HCM
What the history given here suggestive of some functional condition, second thyroid function could be on lower side or on higher side either this could be Hypo or Hyper thyroidism but these can not be altogether, if you have not done thyroid test,then get done, and try to low down your stress you are already taking antidepressant so better to consult psychiatrist for further advise, take care, have a nice day.
