Hi,

It's definitely possible to have both Grave's and Hashimoto's since I
was diagnosed with both after thyroid surgery. You should go see an
endocrinologist ASAP about this issue. When you say you went to see
your doctor before, did you mean just a general practitioner? I
belive an endocrinologist would want to get your TSH and FreeT4
tested after seeing your symptoms.

Good luck!
