An overactive thyroid, or hyperthyroidism, accelerates the body's metabolism, leading to increased energy expenditure. This heightened metabolic rate can cause symptoms like jitteriness, anxiety, and restlessness. Additionally, the rapid metabolism may result in a constant energy deficit, making the person feel hungrier as their body demands more fuel to keep up with the increased activity.
