I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism which leads to thyrotoxic heart disease i accumulated most of the symptoms like hair loss for over the years and before i suffer so much from palpitation at 155 hbm i got 4 to 5 times bowel movement it also leads to anxiety sweating

12 years ago I was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism and took Levothyroxine for several years until my levels normalised. My wellbeing did not. I continued with several complex symptoms and discovered I also have Hypermobile Ehlers Danlos 2, POTS, and what they called Fibromyalgia or CFS/M.E. Yesterday, it turned out my recent bloods now showed Hyperthyroidism and I will be taking medicine for that. Does this indicate toward an autoimmune disease?
