During my yearly physical, my doctor said that she thought my thyroid was full and ordered blood/lab work. I meant to ask her at the appointment what a full thyroid would indicate, but I forgot.
I have a high metabolism, great cholesterol rate and would say that I am in fairly good physical condition.
But here's my question(s) - What does the thyroid do and what would a "full thyroid" mean? I'm assuming that because she ordered tests, it must not be good. What are the raminifications and/or treatments if I do have a "full thyroid"?
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

The thyroid in an endocrine gland (hormone producing and secreting). If overactive, can cause problems as well as inactive. Some people gain a lot of weight, due to thyroid problems. Others cant gain weight.
