Nodules and cysts in the thyroid are evaluated with ultrasound and often FNA biopsy.
Most do not need surgery unless the biopsy is suspicious or the nodules are clearly causing symptoms (breathing difficulties, etc).
There may be a link between thyroid lumps and breast lumps, but more research is needed -- so at this point would consider these two separate issues.
Inhaler use would not influence thyroid nodules/cysts.
