heart palps and chest pain due to thyroid?

Ihave had a thyroid nodule for about 6 yrs. and was biopsied same time. Benign.  Had an ultrasound in 06 and just recently.  It enlarged about 3 times the size. Mixed and complex nodule.  I have been having increased heart galloping/palps and chest pain and do take anxiety meds occasionally for same. Heart checked, okay.  Could this pain be from nodule or should I look elsewhere?  Maybe GERD?  Its pretty scary. I'm 50 and maybe premenopausal too.  Thanks

A nodule that grew 3x's the size in less than 3 yrs is  should be looked into further.

Did anyone suggest a biopsy?

What was the size of your nodule to start with? what was it in 06 ? Did the growth happen over the six years or from the 06 ultrasound?
