[|Human|] I was hyperthyroid and did the radiated iodine. I have a nodule that is 3.7 centimeters. It has grown a cm in six months. I have a biopsy scheduled and am having weird symptoms. A terrible cough that I thought was a cold, but has lasted way too long. Pressure in my neck to the point that I sleep sitting up. I feel facial tingling at times. Aching in my jaw and ear. My neck feels tight like it s swollen. Am nervous! Help
[|AI|]  Hi, You took radio iodine for hyperthyroidism, and you have a nodule in thyroid which is fast-growing. I think you are being posted for a hemithyroidectomy and not biopsy or if not that then FNAC or truck and not biopsy as biopsy is not done for thyroid nodules. You are having pressure symptoms on your wind pipe, and you need to be investigated as under:1. A thyroid profile2. Thyroid USG or CT scan3. FNAC 4. Serum calciumThen your doctor can plan taking you up for surgery but in any case not an open knife biopsy. Regards
