For a nodule this large with indeterminate FNA, the standard of care is typically surgery. Removing half the thyroid often does not cause underactive thyroid requiring treatment and would not cause acne or weight gain in most cases.
I suggest you wait and monitor every six month. This breathing technique will stimulate the thyroid and you will start to feel the benefit in months. When you notice the swelling going down, let me know, and I will suggest more techniques to help you.

How to do Ujjayi
When you clear your throat, you tighten your throat and breath out, twice, with a pause in between. . Now if you reverse this, that is, tighten the throat and breath in continuously for abour 8 to 12 seconds, then hold your breath for 4 seconds with the chin down, then chin up, close right nostril and slowly breath out through left nostril, you have just done Ujjayi pranayam.You will feel like coughing initially.
Hi I just had my thyroid removed Sept 30th and I have hashimoto and a very large thyroid, larger than yours was, anyway I did have biopsy done before I had it removed and it came back negative for cancer well it was wrong my right side was the larger side but they found the cancer on the smaller left side, so obviously I say remove both sides because if I had just had the larger of the 2 sides out I would not have known about the cancer.
