thank you...
I have lost my voice for 6 months. a few quiet words a day.
swollen feeling in thyroid area.
I wonder if it was from the selenium supplements.
only recently (2 weeks ago) became noticeably uncomfortable.
I get labs back next week.
'subclinical hyperthyroid' 4 months ago.
endo wanted to do technetium scan, which I would have liked, but he said get off the neomercazole for a month beforehand. this was going to be too uncomfortable for me.
I was on a low dose anyway - 1mg less than daily.
anyway, i'll get the results here next week. thank you.
in the meantime - how do I REDUCE/ PREVENT further swelling?
thirsty and very dry throat from afternoon and in middle of night, despite sufficient water.
heartrate around 70bpm

Yes, goiter can form in either/both hyper and hypo.  A goiter is simply a swollen, inflamed thyroid gland.

Do you have other symptoms?  If you let us know what they are, and what your current thyroid levels are, we might be able to assist you further.
