Multiple nodules, goiter, new choking sensation
I'm brand new to this forum thing, I was diagnosed with a thyroid goiter in my teens, and nodules about 6 years ago. I go in periodically for check ups. 2 years ago was the last check- the sizes of the nodules: 0.7x 0.7 x 0.6cm, 0.8, 1.1, 0.7cm, 0.4x 0.3x 0.2cm, plus 3 new small ones 3-4mm on the right. Some with "mild internal blood flow suggested, isoechoic, hypoechoic, complex" whatever that means. On the left 0.9 x 0.5 x 0.5cm, 0.4 x 0.9x 1.0cm. TSH 3.276-normal, T3- 3.2-normal, T4- 1.5- normal. I had a nuclear study which I think said- no hot or cold nodules. I am usually hyper-feeling, sweating and hot, higher pulse and blood pressure, scatterbrained. Once in a while I feel irritated and tired. Most recently I have been feeling choked/tight pressure in my neck especially when laying down or turning my head to the left or looking down. I made an appointment to see my family doctor but I'm just wondering what the experts have to say. I'm uneducated in this whole area and want to be prepared. Thanks!
