Are there times that you are constantly tired and depressed? Or getting an irregular heartbeat and sudden weight gain or weight loss? These are clear signs that something may be up with your thyroid.
The thyroid (located at the base of your neck) is in-charge of several hormones in your body that contribute to metabolism, growth, and other bodily functions so you can’t let it go unchecked. It may be goiter (enlargement of the thyroid gland due to abnormal production of hormones) or other underlying thyroid problems.
Left untreated, it can cause difficulty with breathing & swallowing and other problems in the body so it is important to have your thyroid checked as soon as you can.
If you have a family history of goiter or your doctor recommends you to have your thyroid checked for tests, MyHealth’s Thyroid Test Package is perfect for you since it consists of all the thyroid tests you’ll need: Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH), FT3, and FT4.
