Your doctor may ask these questions to diagnose thyroid storm
Have you recently stopped taking thyroid medications after taking them for sometime?
Do you have a fever?
Do you have a slight trembling of your fingers?
Do you have abdominal pain (stomach ache)?
Have you ever been diagnosed with hyperthyroidism or Graves' disease?
This requires emergency medical care. Injections and oral medications will be given to block the thyroid hormones and bring levels back to normal. Hospitalization for monitoring is typically needed.
