I am only a medical assistant, and I am sure Dr.Lupho will eventually get on here and answer your questions. Are you over weight or have gained weight randomly? Do you have any visible goiters? Is your menstrual cycle irregular? Have your eyes gotten bigger? these are other questions they normally ask. I have hyperthyroid/Graves Disease and also have symptoms of hypothyroid.
For two years I told my primary care physician and the doctor I work for ( an Endocronoligst ) about certain symptoms that were ignored for almost 2 years.. I was just diagnosed officially in August of this year. Sometimes, the symptoms have to get a little worse (in my case) before someone actually said ..Oh you have a goiter on your neck.
Thyroid is a tricky thing.. some people can kill off their thyroid and it goes to a normal level on it's on.. others have to have medication for the rest of their life. You only can go by what you are told by a professionsal. You stressing over it , can also lead to serverer thyroid symptoms
