I am 53 this year,post menopause, in 2010 I had a biopsy for a nodule, turns out I have 3 nodules, the biopsy was fine & the GP I see said my blood test was within range. However- I am having a lot of sweating spells 10 to 12 a day & through the night, I am unable to sleep at night, I have gained weight I have kind of panic attacks, I have palpitations, high blood pressure, foggy head, the list goes on. I can't exert myself at all or I sweat profusely. This is very hard to take & I am wondering if I could have Hoshimoto's ? also if I was to have my thyroid out would these symptoms stop & what med's would I have to take afterwoods?
Thank you for any help, I live in a small town 2 hours away from a major city so the most help I can get is my GP who I don't really have a lot of faith in.
