Thyroid problems
Tired all the time, an unexplained change in weight, palpitations or a swelling in the neck — what your thyroid does, why it can go wrong, and how Dr Hina Parvez can help you get a clear picture.
Your thyroid is a small gland in the neck that sets your metabolism. A thyroid problem means it's either under-active or over-active.
Under-active means too little hormone, over-active means too much — and either way it knocks your whole pace out of step. It's common, very treatable, and easily missed because the symptoms creep up slowly and overlap with everyday tiredness. A simple blood test usually tells us what's going on — and once we have a clear picture, an under-active or over-active thyroid is something we can treat and keep under review.
Symptoms of thyroid problems.
What you notice depends on whether the thyroid is under-active or over-active — and the two can look like opposites.
Why it happens.
A thyroid problem usually has a clear underlying reason, and finding it helps guide the right treatment.
Don't wait for it to settle.
Early assessment helps you get the right treatment sooner. See a specialist if:
Confirmed with a blood test and a look at your neck.
Dr Hina Parvez takes a full history, examines your neck and arranges a thyroid function blood test to see whether the gland is under-active or over-active. Where the picture needs more — a nodule, an unclear result or a more complex case — she'll arrange further tests or refer you to an endocrinologist, and explain clearly what each step is for.
Blood tests at the clinic →How thyroid problems is treated.
Treatment depends on whether your thyroid is under- or over-active — and it's reviewed with regular blood tests.
A full history and neck examination with Dr Hina Parvez to talk through your symptoms and arrange the right blood test. The blood test itself is charged separately and confirmed with you.
Hormone replacement for an under-active thyroid, or medication for an over-active one — started, fine-tuned and prescribed as your results guide. The medication itself is charged separately; the price shown is the prescription fee.
Thyroid treatment needs regular blood checks to keep your levels right. Dr Hina Parvez reviews your results and adjusts your dose over time.
For a thyroid nodule or a more complex case, Dr Hina Parvez refers you on to an endocrinologist. Any specialist treatment a nodule or over-active thyroid may need is carried out by that specialist, not at the clinic.

How is a thyroid problem diagnosed? +
Mainly with a thyroid function blood test, alongside a history and an examination of your neck with Dr Hina Parvez. If the result needs more — such as a nodule or an unclear picture — she arranges further tests or refers you to an endocrinologist.
Can I be seen online? +
Yes. Dr Hina Parvez offers consultations online across the UK as well as in person in Rossett. The neck examination and the blood test itself need to be done in person, and she'll arrange that for you.
Do I need a referral, and do you bill my insurer? +
You don't need a referral to see our private GP — you can book directly, with no NHS waiting list. The clinic bills the major UK insurers directly, and Dr Hina Parvez can write any onward referral or insurance letter you need.
What does it cost? +
A 30-minute GP consultation is £100 (a 45-minute appointment is £120, or £80 online). A prescription is £25 and a GP letter £50. The blood test, any medication and a specialist referral are charged separately and confirmed with you — we don't quote those upfront.
