### Patient: Doctor, I have a condition where my thyroid gland has nodules and it's making too much hormone. I feel anxious all the time and my heart is racing. What tests do I need?
### Doctor: Based on your symptoms and medical history, I would recommend a comprehensive list of tests. We need to conduct a blood test to check your hematology, a lipid panel to check your cholesterol levels, an ultrasound to examine your thyroid gland, a complete physical exam to check your skin and breast, and hemoglobin A1c measurement for blood sugar level. In some cases, a partial or complete thyroidectomy may be necessary.
