To check your thyroid at home, follow these steps:
- Find a mirror: Use a well-lit mirror to clearly see your neck.
- Position your head: Tilt your head slightly back to stretch the neck skin.
- Locate your thyroid: It's in the lower front part of your neck, below the Adam's apple.
- Swallow and observe: Sip water and swallow, watching for any bulges or lumps moving up and down.
- Feel for lumps: Gently feel around your windpipe for unusual bumps or tenderness.
If you notice persistent swelling, lumps, or changes in your voice, consult a healthcare professional. This self-check is not a substitute for a medical diagnosis.

I'm a bit worried because my T3 and T4 levels are normal, but my TSH is really high at 98 and my AntiTPO is 1440. I'm planning to see a doctor soon, but I'm curious to know if there's a way to reverse this autoimmune issue without having to take thyroxine if that's what the doctor suggests. Is there a different approach I might consider?
That is not possible ideally but can control the disease progress ,follow your doctors advice
