My doctor wants me to have my thyroid checked, what should I expect?

Your doctor may want to check your thyroid function by measuring the levels of TSH and free T4 hormones in your blood. If these are outside the normal range, it can indicate that you might have an underactive or overactive thyroid gland. This could be a symptom of an underlying thyroid disorder. It's important for you to consult with your doctor if you think you might have any symptoms of thyroid problems such as fatigue, weight gain, constipation, hair loss, dry skin, and depression.
