Please bear in mind that this is only a test, which is neither intended nor able to replace a medical diagnosis. Take the opportunity of a medical examination and talk to a physician. Thyroid disease can be reliably identified only from a medical examination. However, this small test may indicate a potential thyroid disorder and it may help you to classify your symptoms better and prepare for a medical consultation.

2.Do you have the feeling of something stuck in your throat and/or difficulty swallowing?

12.Do your muscles frequently ache and/or do you feel weak?
13.Are you tense and irritable for no reason and do you feel unsettled in yourself?
