A member asked:
Daughter tested by pc md for hypothroid but tests are ~ normal, md does not refer to endo. family history , she has all symptoms-plan needs referral?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Diet and exercise?: If thyroid tests are normal, then the patient (your daughter) doesn't have hypothyroid, so no referral to endo is needed, even with family history and symptoms. You daughter should ask her PC md what to do next. A healthy diet and daily exercise may cure her. The key is communication between the patient and her doctor.
