The mysterious Tyroid

[thesunwillshine]

Hi - I have a sore gland on the right side of my neck. If i turn my head to the left,i can hear a "shoosh" noise in my left ear. The gland in my neck will ache & thump under my right ear It makes me feel moody & or alter my sense of where i am,if that makes sense?  My left arm is a bit weak &  if i yawn,i  feel a nausia feeling and the gland in my neck will ache. I also feel short of breath a bit.  I assumed it was a possible respiratory or sinus infection. Had a chest x-ray that showed normal. I am on amoxicillin for which my doctor "thinks" is a respiratory infection,yet initially he said it is a virus. It sees that when driving it acts up yet more,until i get out of the car and walk around,then i feel a bit better,but not 100%. Throid or something else?  It is keeping me from going anywhere as it's a mystery to me.

I say the same thing as Laura. Have an ultrasound and/or nuclear scan. Be aggressive.

The only sure way to know if it is thyroid is to have the proper labwork done. TSH, Free T4 and Free T3.  I would also ask for an ultrasound of your neck and thyroid.
