Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Given symptoms of heat intolerance or sensitive to heat , headache, nausea, are suggestive of thyroid dysfunction, I would advise you to get done complete thyroid profile, just single test may not give any clue, it has to be TSH, T3 T4 Free T3 T4, thyroid scan, Iodine uptake, thyroglobulin these are to confirm the thyroid disease or to rule this out. if the tests are normal then the given symptoms could be nonspecific.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
