There are a variety of different blood tests that can help determine the overall health of your thyroid. The most common is the thyroid stimulating hormone blood test. This is an initial test used to determine how your thyroid is functioning. A high TSH level indicates that the thyroid gland isn't making enough hormones causing hypothyroidism. Conversely, if the TSH level is low it indicates an overactive thyroid known as hyperthyroidism. The normal range for TSH is .5 to 4.5 mIU/L.

What does your thyrold do?

Your thyroid responds to TSH produced by your pituitary gland by producing T4 (an inactive form of thyroid hormone). It then converts T4 into a mixture of T3 (the active form) and reverse T3 (another inactive form). Not enough T3 is likely to make you feel too cold at normal room temperatures. Too much T3 is likely to make you feel too hot at normal room temperatures.
