Mr Ahmed is 45 years old and presented recently to the GP with a three week history of irritability and weight loss. He is normally fit and well. Systems examination revealed a smooth, non-tender goitre. He has returned to discuss the results of the blood test that was taken. Apart from a regular pulse rate of 110bpm, the remainder of his observations are still within normal limits.
