Yes there is a test that can be done and it may have to be done several times as your Thyroid can function properly at times and not function properly at other times. This happened to my sister.
She had multiple test run with negative results. Then one day while waiting for my niece to finish her doctors visit a doctor noticed my sister sitting there and asked if she was okay. She said she wasn't okay but no one has yet found out what was wrong with her.
He took my sister into an exam room. Examined her and drew blood for several test. This test came back positive for thyroid problems. Her thyroid was burned out with a radio active pill and she was prescribed a pill she takes each day to replace what the thyroid did for her.
So see a doctor, tell the doctor of you symptoms and get the test. The story I told you was over 20 years ago and today's test should be more sensitive. The only true way to diagnose what is wrong is with a doctors examination and proper testing.

There are tests that can be conducted by your doctor. As for symptoms, from what I read, they can be very subtle and go unnoticed and untreated, also some symptoms could include "Fatigue and weakness
Low basal temperature (cold intolerance)
Dry and coarse skin
Hair loss
Cold hands and feet
Weight gain
Insomnia
Constipation
Depression
Poor memory, forgetfulness, dementia
Nervousness and tremors
Immune system problems
Heavy menstrual periods
Frequent sinus infections
Poor resistance to infection"
But, those symptoms could also be caused by other illnesses, so your best bet is to schedule an appointment with your doctor, and have it properly diagnosed.
