What will my appointment with an nhs specialist entail for hyperthyroidism?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Endocrinologist: Nhs=national health service, but you live in la? Presumably you are seeing an endocrinologist for your hyperthyroidism. The doc will take a hx and physical, examine your thyroid, blood tests if not already done. (s)he may do an ultrasound, esp if there is a nodule. May start on antithyroid drugs (eg b-blocker, methimazole). May discuss future treatments, like radioactive iodine or surgery.
