Not specific for thyroid problem See your primary care doctor to check whether you have an enlarged thyroid gland and have an adequate linear growth. Normal and negative blood tests for thyroid hormones, i.e., TSH & free T4, and thyroid antigen antibodies will relieve your worry.

You need to work with your doctor to determine if your many symptoms could be related to a low thyroid or a high thyroid. Go to uptodate.com and read more. Then discuss with your personal physician.
