How to test thyroid?
My sister was recently diagnosed with a thyroid disorder, and I've also been experiencing some unexplained weight gain and fatigue. What tests should I ask my doctor for to check my thyroid levels?

Along with my BP checkups, my doctor always adds a thyroid panel which is T3, T4, and TSH. It's just a simple blood test. Regular monitoring of these things is really helpful as we grow older.

Hey! It is super easy to test, just a quick blood test called Thyroid Profile. You don't even need to fast for it usually, but check with your lab. You will get the reports in a few hours!

Just take a deep breath and book a basic thyroid blood test. It is a very common issue and highly manageable. Stay positive, eat fresh meals, and let the doctor guide you once the reports are out.

I had to get my thyroid checked because my periods were irregular, which is common with PCOS. I went to a lab and asked for a TSH test. Please share your reports with an endocrinologist rather than guessing on your own.

Don't stress about this. Just call any diagnostic lab to your home for a Thyroid Profile blood test. Once the T3, T4, and TSH levels come, we can figure out the next steps with a good doctor. It's very simple.
