Blood tests: Simple blood tests can quickly determine thyroid function. Most weight gain problems are not thyroid related. Please discuss with your doctor.

Blood tests: Combination of symptoms, physical signs but most importantly blood tests will prove if you have a thyroid problem or not. See your doctor for blood testing.
