i have a history of anxiety and depression but i lost a lot of weight over the last year (voluntary, diet + exercise) and it has gotten remarkably better. i dont have my free t3 level but my free t4 is 1.00 (.9-1.8) .. my tsh is 1.20 (.55-4.78)... im not on any medication but the only reason for the surgery is the growth of the nodules , having more than doubled in size in 4 years. i dont have any discomfort or symptoms but i did noticr after my biopsies that my throat felt like it had more room almost, i dont know how to describe it. if my nodules are causing compression or making my throat "crowded" so to speak i havent notices / dont think i would recognize the difference..
Are you on any thyroid medication at this time? If so What? The nodules may cause issues and you may have to take some sort of medication anyway, there is no way to tell, only you know if you are symptomatic at this time, you stated anxiety and crying/depression, those are thyroid symptoms also. Have you had any Antibody tests at all?, if so please post results with ranges provided , and include Free T3 and Free T4 with ranges.
We can give you a better opinion if we know how you stand with your thyroid. Best Wishes FTB4
