Fasting blood tests are generally considered more accurate because after 12 hours most food etc that you have consumed would have been cleared from your blood system.
There are at least four tests you can have, and maybe a couple more if you are proved hypothyroid. It is not difficult to treat should this be the case, once the dose of meds required is ascertained (over a short period of time, usually).
I couldn't believe the change in how I felt after just 50mcg ...I ended up needing 150mcg. Your thyroid plays a part in many different aspects of your well being. You may even find thyroid med clears up that depressed feeling...that would be great, wouldn't it.
Why not type 'hypothyroid' into your search engine and read up on it.
I say hypothyroid rather than hyperthyroid, because if you were hyper, you would be going at everything at a fast pace, and probably not carrying any excess weight. Let us know what the verdict was after the tests......Eve
