Normally your endocrinologist well perform some sort of blood tests to check your hormone levels which include your tsh and much much more.

You need to have the correct antibody testing and an ultrasound of your thyroid. Sometimes the symptoms of Hashimoto's and Grave's disease can be confused for each other so testing for both can be beneficial. But the most common tests are Anti-thyroid peroxidase antibody (Anti-TPO) and Antithyroglobulin antibody (TgAb).

Blood tests will diagnose it. An endocrinologist is not needed for diagnosis but I recommend having one for ongoing management of the condition.

When one is feeling abnormal symptoms, such as fatigue, weight gain without change in diet, irritability, high emotivity...he should ask his doctor to do a tsh, and if possible, t3 and t4
