Medical Monday: Thyroid Health

MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – Your thyroid gland is something you use everyday and you don’t even know it.

It runs the circadian rhythm in your body by secreting a hormone.

You can contract thyroid disease, which means your thyroid gland is either working too much or not enough.

Dr. Eddie Richardson joins 41NBC to talk about symptoms of thyroid disease and what you can do to get tested.
