You can think of your thyroid gland as your body's thermostat. Thyroid problems can affect your mood, appetite, gut, weight or skin - amongst many other things.
An under-active thyroid slows everything down. You feel tired, cold, put on weight, have dry skin and struggle with constipation. An over-active thyroid makes you lose weight, feel hot and jittery and can give you diarrhoea.
Problems with the thyroid gland are common, particularly if you’re a woman, or if you have a history of autoimmune diseases such as type 1 diabetes or coeliac disease. Thyroid problems can develop at any age so it's important to check it every now and then, particularly if you have symptoms such as:
Our Thyroid Blood Test checks the two main thyroid hormones, thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and thyroxine (T4), which are all we need to say if you have an under- or over-active thyroid gland.
