Don't let the doctor fob you off. Insist they take you seriously and yes at least get a blood test done. Don't take no for an answer where your health is concerned.
Good luck

I would definitely get your thyroid tested - not sure why the haven't already. Your symptoms are the same as mine when diagnosed with Graves' disease, took them a while to work out my issues, fortunately finally saw a doctor who recognised the symptoms - I couldn't have been more grateful. I am well now, so just go and get it sorted so you can get back on track or see what else it could be. Once tested come back on this forum with your results so people can advise. X

Can I ask how long it took to get you "well"??
Are you euthyroid now? have you stopped all meds? Just curious as I have only just began to feel ok after a 3 year battle with Graves!!

As others have said, please INSIST on a full blood test including thyroid levels. My GP fobbed off for over 6 months and I ended up having 2 thyroid storms and nearly DIED. I was eventually diag with SEVERE Graves Disease and my GP then immediately got her senior GP to see me...presumably because sshe knew how badly she had Treated me (or NOT as the case may be.
3 years on I am very bitter about that horrible doc who nearly cost me my life.
You are likely not have such a serious condition as mine but the earlier you get do=iag the sooner they can give you meds to balance you out and keep you healthy.
Good luck and do not give up!!

Yes, your symptoms do sound like u have a thyroid disorder. Go back to your doc and be sure to tell him/her that it is hereditary and genetic as your aunt has a thyroid disorder....best wishes..
