Hyperthyroidism post-pregnancy

I gave birth 18 weeks ago to my first child. About three weeks ago I began having some strange symtpoms. My hair started falling out. I sweat alot and have hot flahses. I wake up sweating at night. My hands shake. And more problematic, I wake with cramped hands and feet that goes away within about 30 minutes.

My doctor ordered several blood tests (CBC, ANA, Arthritis panel, Thyroid panel etc). So far it shows I have hyperthyroidism, something I've never had before.

I am 31 years old. I'm very worried. Is this a normal complication post-partum?
