Hello
Thank You for contacting HCM.

I would suggest you to visit an endocrinologist for proper evaluation of thyroid gland. There are a number of tests other than TSH including radioactive iodine uptake scan. He will give proper assessment after thoroughly examining you.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow
up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.
Wishing you good health.
