Post Thyroid and flying

I think I may have an over-active thyroid gland which is affecting my metabolism (ie remaining thin not getting fat when i think i should be), a lolly in the throat feeling and occasional sweats and a feeling of nervousness. Hasnt affeced my flying ability but its uncomfortable at times.

Does anyone of medical knowledge know how this can be treated, and would treatment of the gland affect a pilot medical?
