Hi im 22 year old male im 5'11 my wieght is all over the place anywhere between 110-135 regardless of how much i eat. I have a huge apite and eat 5-7 meals a day as is. Im very active in martial arts am in pretty good shape. I can never get my wieght to stay constant nor can i get over 135 Graves runs in my family my grandmother and dad both have it. Does it just take simple blood work to diagnos somthing like that or is it more complicated.

RE: Should i get my thyroid checked

:)Hello:)
Just read up on graves and it does state:

  • Being female - women are 10 times more likely to develop an overactive thyroid than men.
  • Graves' disease is more likely in people whose close relatives are affected.
  • Having other autoimmune diseases, such as type 1 diabetes, vitiligo and Addison's disease, increases the chance of getting hyperthyroidism.

    • Web site: http://hcd2.bupa.co.uk/fact_sheets/html/overactive_thyroid.html

    Perhaps you should get it checked out with the doctors, just to put your mind at rest?

    take Care
