HOW TO TEST FOR THYROID PROBLEMS AT HOME:

Locate your Adams apple in your neck. Just below the Adams apple is the thyroid gland. The
thyroid has two wings like appendages that extend on either side past your vocal chords.
Start at the top of your neck, just under your chin, and run your fingers down the side of your
neck so that they would feel the two wing appendages on each side of your neck. You are
feeling for bumps, limps, obvious swelling and informalities.
If you feel something with your left hand there should be an equal something on the right side.
Swelling in the thyroid gland is an obvious sign that you need to see a doctor and have further
testing done.
If you feel no swelling that does not mean you are free and clear of thyroid complications. No
swelling in the gland could simply mean that your thyroid has not reached a stage where it is
obvious that it is malfunctioning.
Some people with hypothyroidism never experience swelling of the thyroid gland.
This test should be used simply to let you confirm your suspicions before you go to see your
doctor for the necessary blood work.
No at home testing should be substitute for solid medical evaluation by a trained medical
professional.
