Hello! Thank you for writing. In order to check your thyroids you can do a free T4 and TSH test, to rule it out.I would recommend you to do a full H/P, order a CBC, TSH, Free T4, Free T3 and Reverse T3. Then after the analysis you can see what treatment or diet you need in base of the results.You need to talk to a nutritionist or something else in base of the results of the analysis. Best regards.
