How Do You Know if You Have a Problem With Thyroid?

## Watch for symptoms In addition to subjective discomfort at the base of the neck, thyroid problems show up in other ways. Look out for the following: - Lumpy feeling in the throat - Slight difficulty in swallowing - The feeling of clothing squeezing your neck, even if the collar does not fit snugly against your body - The sensation depends on the position of the head and neck (when turning or reclining) - Tingling or pulling pains radiating to the cheekbone or ears - Severe pain in the neck Thyroid problems may also be accompanied by unexplained weight changes (both weight gain and loss), insomnia, memory impairment, loss of strength, increased irritability and anxiety, inadequate temperature perception (always hot and always cold). ## Act promptly If the pain continues for 5–7 days, you should consult your doctor — especially if you have one or more of the symptoms above. Your doctor will order tests to see if the thyroid is the problem. The first tests include a complete blood count and blood tests for thyroid hormones ([TSH](https://ul.orna.me/KOge/librarybiomarker?id=137), [T3](https://ul.orna.me/KOge/librarybiomarker?id=138), and [T4](https://ul.orna.me/KOge/librarybiomarker?id=141)). If abnormalities are found, the endocrinologist will most likely order additional examinations and tests. Thyroid issues are quite dangerous, but if you go to the doctor in time and follow the recommendations you can soon return to a familiar way of life without discomfort.
