I am new - Do I need thyroid treatment?

I have had a goitre for many years but never got thyroid treatment despite fairly low test results. I have changed to a new GP practice who have suggested that I should stop taking part of my osteoporosis treatment. I am worrying that they will not test me for thyroid levels, as my symptoms are mild but the worrying could be due to low thyroid levels!
