A member asked:
52-year-old asian woman, 5'1 and 135 lbs. eye doctor noticed eyelids were drooping and suggested a thyroid ultrasound. why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No reason: Droopy eyelids are not a reason for testing your thyroid and an ultrasound would not be the first test to do for suspected thyroid disease unless you had a palpable thyroid nodule in your neck...
