My doc gave a request for thyroid tests due to some symptoms probably of hyperthyroidism. I missed to ask how often the tests need to be done, but on checking online, one site said the ATA recommends thyroid function test from age 35 every 5 yrs. Now I remember having had TSH test just last year.
As I have been trying to juggle some stuff the past weeks (more correctly years=), I have been rather tired and get less sleep. Ive started to sleep better some weeks ago, but then again realize ive been waking up more often at night recently. Missed an ob-gyne sked last week, and another doctor interpreted ecg and lab results as normal, but she recommended the ft4 and tsh thyroid tests.
Here is what I saw.
Some symptoms of hyperthyroidism include: (those in itals. i experience)
· Nervousness or irritability
· Heat intolerance
· Frequent bowel movements
· Fatigue or muscle weakness
· Trouble sleeping
· Mood swings
· Rapid heartbeat
Sometimes going to so many doctors can use up so much time, so I want to minimize visits wc I may not need really. Just tired juggling this particular matter in my head… If I get blood test this am, wc I wish I don’t need to, I get results tom. yet so need to go again to bring results to doc if it is positive. If I don’t get tsh test yet, I really planned to go to doc today for some shoulder pains this week anyway.
Any ideas? Salamat.
