Hypercalcemia slows the body down, but you are urinating more due to increased osmolarity of intravascular - which makes the kidneys increase urine output (not real technical, but it is too early for me)
Hypocalcemia speeds up the body - twitches and tremors

here's an easy one:
hyperthyrodism- everything increases (HR, BP, heat intolerance, sweating, diarrhea, fine tremors) except weight and sleep
hypothyroidism- everything decreases except weight and sleep
