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.

View allI've been dealing with this issue on and off for a while now where I'm experiencing high breathing and a high heart rate. An ECG showed sinus tachycardia. Lately, I've been noticing an increase in urine production and have been having some stomach issues. There's water vomit full of air bubbles and my stool and urine are also showing air bubbles, even though the urine tests didn't detect any protein. I've become very sensitive to the cold and have been having a low-grade fever that reaches around 100 degrees. Could you help me understand what's going on?

I'm concerned about my recent TFT test results at work. My TSH levels came back high, and I'm not sure what that means. Is it something I should be worried about? Are there steps I should take to get it back to a normal range? My T3 and T4 levels are fine, but does this mean I have a thyroid issue? I'd appreciate any advice you could give.
