Answer 1

How old are you? If you are a minor you should talk with your parents or family members about this. And you should be talking to your Dr. about this. Since you went to see your Dr. for this in the first place, you should be able to call up and discuss it with him/her or make a follow up appointment.

Answer 2

Sure, lots of people have symptoms like yours which are typical of hypothyroid. When you talk with your doctor he will know if you need any medication. Balanced mineral supplements are usually a big help, also. You can try taking some and if you get good ones, later tests could show that you no longer need medication.

Answer 3

second opinion sounds like it is underactive
