Brief Answer:
Look for T3, T4 and TSH levels.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thank you for posting your query.

Considering the history of thyroid issues, I would suggest you to look for the levels of thyroid hormones (T3, T4 and TSH levels).

Apart from that you should also check the Glucose levels, Lipid profile (Total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL, VLDL cholesterol levels) and kidney function tests (Creatinine levels, and electrolyte levels). And get the ECG reviewed by a doctor.

That should cover the important tests that you need to watch.

I hope this answers your query, please feel free to write back if you have any doubts.

Best regards.
