Thyroid masses?

[Sirenet]

Hi all. This is probably a foolish question, but here goes....  Recently I received my Dr's report from my cardiologist. I have many health issues, unfortunately at this point. In it, he notes; Thyroid masses. Is this common? For all I know it is equivalent to him noting that I have two ears, lol. But I am curious.
   I have begun wondering about certain issues and possiblity of thryroid relatedness. I am 50 yr male, had a MVA 9 yrs ago wherein I broke my neck, among numerous other injuries. Ortho performed a C5 -6- 7 discectomy, ant/post, with bone grafts. (titanium wires/plates also). Now obviously he had to move around trachea/esoph. One incision is just aside of where thyroid lies. A few months later I was admitted back in hosp with A-fib. I have read that A-fib can be related to thyroid. I am thinking out loud here, so please excuse me, but any insight would be much appreciated. Thnx, Steve

Hi Steve,
I just read your post. I myself am not familiar with the procedures you have done in the past.  My advice, go to your PCP with the results from the cardio test and ask if you can be referred to an Endo Dr.
