Q: For some time now, I have felt heaviness in my throat and this whole summer I have felt tired, weak and I could not stand the heat. I think I have problems with my thyroid gland- it’s a hereditary matter. What should I do? Thank you in advance.
A: The symptoms you have listed are non-specific but may also be relatable to thyroid disease. My advice is to see a doctor and undergo a general physical examination, followed by blood tests and possibly a thyroid ultrasound. The ultrasound has a specialized view that can detect the presence of suspected thyroid disorders.
