Hello I am a female 39 who has had symptoms ranging from visual disturbance, fatigue, weight gain, inability to lose weight, mental fatigue including memory, confusion, (brain fog) headaches, tingling hands up to shoulders at night when trying to sleep and tingling in feet also (sometimes even just sitting in a certain position) sensitivity to cold, & light, racing heart while idle, low blood pressure 90/60 and more recently tight feeling in chest, choking, trouble clearing my throat, hoarseness, I started to tell my doctor of my symptoms a few months after the birth of my third child three years ago. My optometrist said I had swollen vessels behind my eyes, she said it was a warning sign of something to go to my doctor. he did the usual blood tests (normal) sent me to an eye doctor
eye doctor called it some kind of optical migraine. as my symptoms got worse I started to feel depressed went back to my Doc this Jan told him I was not comfortable with diagnosis of migraine. agreed I was a little depressed was given wellbutrin I told him I wanted to see a neurologist he agreed referred me and set up a ct scan of my head test showed cyst in my brain but doctor said it was nothing, went to neurologist upon examining me in his office told me he didn't think anything was wrong with me, but was sending me for a couple tests blood, e.e.g. and cartoid ultrasound. the tech who performed cartoid ultrasound, decided to also do a thyroid ultrasound and found I have multi nodules on my thyroid one of them being 1 inch in size and having both cyst and solid tissue. My thyroid is also very enlarged. My doctor insists this is a total coincidental finding and that my symptoms are not caused by my thyroid because my TSH level is a 1 so my thyroid is working fine I asked him to test my antibodies and he did I don't know my exact numbers but the nurse did tell me one came back high, I am so scared that I could have thyroid cancer. My doctor has made a ref to a Endocron for me but I am terrified, If anyone has any similar situations I would like to here from you  Thanks
