High Thyroid and memory loss
Hello,
My boyfriend has a high thyroid. I have noticed that on occasion that he forgets significant things that happened in the past. Some are the recent past (within a few months) and others the distant past. He has not had his thyroid treated as of yet and does not know the cause.
Can you please tell me:
1) Could his thyroid be affecting his memory?
2) If so, when treated, will his memory restore to normal?
3) If so, would we see memory issues daily because he seems fine with every day recollection.
4) He has also experienced what he believes to be dehydration. He gets muscle cramps and feels weak. I tend to think it is his thyroid, not dehydration. It has been so gradual over the years that I believe he dismisses it as dehydration. Could this be related?
I appreciate any help you can give me. Thank you.

Does he have other symptoms? Can you list them?
How do you know that he has "high" thyroid? Does he have a test result? If so what was it?
The reason why I ask is that a high TSH actually means he has LOW or Hypothyroid condition. So this can be confusing.
Hypo it is fairly common to have brain fog and memory issues. Not sure if that is common with Hyper or high thyroid.

This ALL sounds like thyroid to me. I had memory issues, weakness, dry mouth and skin.... Does he have anxiety issues as well?
Can anyone help...How do I post this in the doctor's forum as well? I can't find where I can pay for submitting a question.
