Can hypothyroidism can turn into hyperthyroidism?
Cases of conversion from hyperthyroidism to hypothyroidism have been reported but conversion from hypothyroidism to hyperthyroidism is very rare.

Can thyroid fluctuate between hyper and hypo?
Fluctuating thyroid function can be defined as a spontaneous shift of functional thyroid state from hyperthyroidism to hypothyroidism orvice versa. In autoimmune thyroid disease, thyroid function can fluctuate.
Can Your thyroid go from underactive to overactive?

Can thyroid levels change quickly?
Thyroid levels and TSH, in particular, can change along with the seasons. 8 For example, TSH naturally rises somewhat during colder months and drops back down in the warmest months.
Can hyperthyroidism come on suddenly?
An overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism) can cause a wide range of symptoms, although it’s unlikely you’ll experience all of them. The symptoms may develop gradually or suddenly. For some people they’re mild, but for others they can be severe and significantly affect their life.
What if TSH is high but T3 and T4 are normal?
Normally, low levels (less than 5 units) of TSH are sufficient to keep the normal thyroid gland functioning properly. When the thyroid gland becomes inefficient such as in early hypothyroidism, the TSH becomes elevated even though the T4 and T3 may still be within the “normal” range.
What is borderline hyperthyroidism?
Subclinical hyperthyroidism is a condition in which you have low levels of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) but normal levels of T3 and T4. T4 (thyroxine) is a major hormone secreted by your thyroid gland. T3 (triiodothyronine) is a modified version of T4.

Can Synthroid be harmful to someone with hyperthyroidism?
This type of thyroiditis can recur, though. If it does, over time people with silent thyroiditis may develop long-term hypothyroidism.
