Overview

Thyroid function blood tests assess whether the thyroid gland is over or underactive. Symptoms such as unexplained weight changes, fatigue, temperature sensitivity, and heart rate changes may indicate a thyroid issue. At Reddy Urgent Care, our providers can order thyroid blood work the same day.

Symptoms We Treat

  • Unexplained weight gain or weight loss
  • Persistent fatigue despite adequate rest
  • Sensitivity to cold or heat
  • Rapid or irregular heartbeat
  • Hair thinning or loss
  • Mood changes, anxiety, or depression
  • Swelling at the front of the neck (possible goitre)

Most Insurance Accepted

We accept most major insurance plans, Medi-Cal, and Medicare. We verify your benefits before treatment and inform you of any costs upfront.

Types Of Thyroid Function We Treat

  • Hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid)

    Thyroid produces too little hormone. Causes fatigue, weight gain, and sensitivity to cold.

  • Hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid)

    Thyroid produces too much hormone. Causes weight loss, rapid heartbeat, and anxiety.

  • Subclinical thyroid abnormality

    Mild thyroid dysfunction not yet causing significant symptoms — detected on blood test.

  • Thyroiditis

    Inflammation of the thyroid gland — can cause temporary hyper or hypothyroid symptoms.

When to Go to the Emergency Room Instead

Go to the nearest emergency room or call 911 if you or someone with you has:

  • Severe rapid heartbeat, chest pain, or difficulty breathing with suspected hyperthyroidism (go to ER)
  • Thyroid storm (very high fever, extreme agitation, rapid heartbeat — call 911)

If you are unsure, go to the ER. It is always better to be safe.
