Should I be concerned

[Mel3232]

Hi, here is a brief history.  34 f, diagnosed with adrenal insufficiency, hashimoto's, epilepsy, and migraines.  I have been on synthroid for about 7 years, originally for hypothyroid but then 2 yrs ago, they diagnosed me with Hashimotos.  Recently, they discovered a 6mm solid heteregenous nodule on right mid pole of thyroid.  My endo say to do nothing about it.  Should I wait and see or do more?  Also, I am experiencing tenderness, trouble breathing, trouble swallowing, and my thyroid is very inflamed.  My doctor said it is 1 and 1/2 times the size of what a normal thyroid gland should be.

Hi, thanks for the response. Yes I told him about the swallowing, trouble breathing etc,.  I have had these symptoms for many ears, but it has only been in the last few months that it has become extremely uncomfortable, and really causing problems.  he did not have an answer, only told me that the thyroid could radiate pain elseware, causing me trouble but had no real answer etc..for what to do.  He said I needed a consult with a surgeon re: a total thyroidectomy.

Hi there, i think you should tell your endo your having swallowing and breathing trouble, asap, as that is not normal.
It a cause for concern, as ive just had a lobectomy because my nodule was causing me swallowing and breathing problems.
Does your endo know your having difficulty swallowing, and breathing problems?
Because its not the size off the nodule, its the position it lies on the thyroid what counts and can cause problems.
I hope this is off some help to you.
