Multi-nodular goiter/Hashimoto's & Horner's Syndrome

I am a 43 yr old female with a recent diagnosis of Hashimoto's disease. I have a multi-nodular goiter, as a result.  I also have ptosis/Horner's Syndrome of the right eye.  Could the Horner's syndrome be caused by the thyroid nodules/enlargement?  If my thyroid nodules were removed, the biggest nodule being on the right side of my thyroid, would the Horner's Syndrome subside?

I have also been recently diagnosed with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis and more recently with possible Horner's Syndrome (different doctors).  I also have facial flushing and anhidrosis of the left side of my face (also a Horners symtom). There are cases where Horners can result from thyroid neoplasms as well as Hasimoto's.  I am scheduled for an MRI next week and will update my condition after my next visit with my Neurologist.

I have also recently been diagnosed with honers.  They have not been able to give me an explanation on what has caused it.  Can I ask what caused yours?
