When one has a thyroid problem and exhibits thyroid symptoms then the doctor thoroughly checks and diagnoses the condition.
The main hormones produced by the thyroid gland are thyroxine or tetraiodothyronine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3).
Most labs say that a normal serum TSH level is somewhere between 0.4 to 4.0 mIU/L, and that a TSH level of 10 mIU/L or higher is indicative of hypothyroidism
One should get their thyroid hormone tested if they are experiencing unexplained weight gain along with tiredness and fatigue twice a year.
Too much cortisol can also interfere with the conversion from T4 to T3.
