Avatar f tn I am also asthmatic and have an under active thyroid (if I was a horse they would have shot me). Just recently I have been informed that when I had the echo it showed that I had an enlarged left atrium but no obvious problem with my valves. What are the implications of the enlarged atrium and what effect will it have on my life. I try to live a normal life but find I tire very easy.
1964092 tn?1325473595 I have low thyroid and my thyroid was very enlarged causing voice change. I felt a major change in energy today and am beyond tired and my skin is now so dry. Thank you!
Avatar f tn Right Thyoid Lobe: The right thyroid gland measures 5cm x 1.6cm x 1.6cm. In the mid thyroid lobe is a complex solid and cystic structure measuring 0.7cm x 0.8cm x 0.8cm. this dones not have focal increased flow. In the inferior right thyroid lobe is a nodule measuring 1.9cm x 1.1cm x 1.2cm. This has increased vascularity peripherally and centrally. there are tiny hyperechoic foci which many may be microcalcifications or possibly inspissated colloid without comet-tail artifact.
334876 tn?1229979296 He had an enlarged Thyroid. The Thyroid is divided, so there can be a lump on either side of the neck. The vet ran blood work, and although his numbers were off, medicine wasn't necessary. Do some research on Horse Thyroid disease. Symptoms include lethargy, hair / coat problems, and others. I don't want you to rule out the other suggestions, I just want to offer another option. Good luck!!
Avatar n tn I've read the asian community ususally eats many times the daily allowance in iodine in seaweed/kelp in their diets and they stay very healthy. And that Dr.'s in the US are conservative wtih iodine,but in truth naturopaths know and will give people very high dosages and that's not that unusual to be on higher dosages.
Avatar n tn Thyroid very asymmetric in appearance. Right lobe measures 4.9x1.8x1.7cm. No obvious focal mass but is quite enlarged and slightly heterogeneous. The isthmus is thick in the right side and thins towards the middle and the left side. Left lobe measures only 2.4x0.6x1cm in size and it contains a small 7mmx5mm cyst. My PCP had informed me that they really didn't find anything but my own review of the report has me worried. My TSH bloodwork came back in normal range. What does this mean?
Avatar f tn The ENT told me the CT showed no tumors or anything and my thyroid was fine. Now a year later I am being told my thyroid is enlarged. What could be the cause? I had a scan done in January right before my ablation and nothing was noted about my thyroid then. What are the chances of this being cancer? Thank you in advance for your help.
Avatar f tn i am really concerned about my health, i have been told that i have an enlarged thyroid, it was 2 other doctors that asked me if i have had my thyroid checked when i went in for something else at an out of hours clinic, so i went and saw my doctor and told him about it. My Gp has made me an appointment to go and see an ender something i cant remember what they are called.
Avatar m tn I have had numerous tests which show normal thyroid profiles (TSH, T3, T4, etc) however ultrasounds and CT scans have shown that I have an enlarged thyroid with nodules. I have also developed food and environmental allergies, as well as chronic lymphdenopathy in my groin, armpits, and neck. I have increasing ANA levels (1:300+) and a high Rheumatoid factor. While my TSH has fluctuated in and out of range, it has not stayed high or low.
Avatar n tn Is it normal functioning if the right side of my thyroid is enlarged and the left side almost nonexistent? My bloodwork always comes back ok.. Also is there any relativity with thyroid issues and frozen shoulder? I have had it in one shoulder without injuring it and am almost certain it is in my other one.
Avatar m tn I increased my dosage of Armour Thyroid to 90 mg per day about a week ago. Now my thyroid is swollen and my heart rate is 90. My normal heart rate is 70-72. Has this happended to anyone else? I used to take Levoxyl and Cytomol and never had this problems.
Avatar m tn The scan showed that my thyroid was a large, asymetric thyroid, predominantly involving the left lobe with a low density lesion at the inferior pole of the left lobe of the thyroid. It is a lower density lesion measuring 1.6 x 1.3 x 1.3 cm containing a punctate calcification at the lower pole of the left thyroid lobe. Is this cancer or a goiter. Should I see a surgeon first or an endocrinologist?
Avatar m tn I am just wondering what could cause the thyroid gland to be enlarged but blood test normal? Is there another possible disease or something that I could have causing the thyroid gland to enlarge? My doctor I'm currently going to doesn't seem to think its a thyroid disease anymore but can't answer my question of why my thyroid keeps enlarging.
Avatar f tn I've noticed that my thyroid seems enlarged as of the last few weeks and I've an apt this THUR with the Endo. Also the areas below my neck (in between neck and shoulder) look a little swollen. I cannot feel any lymph nodes---just feels like water or fat. I am 4 months postpartum and my thyroid has. Been very well controlled and monitored. The swelling seems to have started after my Endo added T3 cytomel 5 to 10 much per day.
Avatar f tn My daughter who is 5 1/2 is being sent for an ultrasound because her doctor said she has an enlarged thyroid. Does that necessarily mean that something is drastically wrong or what are some things that could be causing this? I am very nervous because I have read all these things on the internet that it could be cancerous. Plus at her last visit her blood work was off they said her diferential shifted some...she is getting more blood work this week.
Avatar n tn The thyroid gland is enlarged. Multiple thyroid nodules are present, none of which meets Society of Radiologist’s in Ultrasound criteria for strong consideration to fine needle aspiration biopsy and at least three of which appear to contain colloid.
Avatar f tn Thanks for your response this Dr. was a endocrinologist he put me on it cause I have enlarged thyroid gained weight and been real tired I kept telling him how bad I was feeling that I wasn't getting any better I actually told him I felt worse he said my labs were fine it just takes time but I know that wasn't right cause hospital told me it was the thyroid meds said tsh level are 0.0 I might find another Dr.
Avatar f tn Boy, have you had your thyroid checked recently? Is the thyroid gland still intact? That would be my first concern, Susan. My mother once developed what looked like a goiter under her chin and her thyroid gland had to be removed, as I recall. This was years ago, so I’m working from distant memory. Of course, it could be something else of course, but that comes to mind first seeing as how many times you’ve pushed through IFN therapy.
Avatar n tn I had half my thyroid removed in 2002 and the other half removed in 2004. Both surgeries were due to non-cancer tumor growth. They did not remove the parathyroid glands. I now am experiencing a feeling of a lump in my throat when I swallow and the front of my neck seems swollen or enlarged. It is very difficult to swallow if my head is even slightly titled up. What could be causing this?
1109439 tn?1259290757 5cm the left lobe and the isthmus of the thyroid are enlarged. an 8mm slightly hyperechoic nodule is seen in the lower pole of the right lobe of the thyroid. two large nodules are seen in the isthmus towards the left lobe and the lower poleof the left lobe of the thyroid measuring 2.9 x 4.2 in diameter respectively both the nodules appear well defined, solid and slightly hyperechoic in appearance. diffuse heterogeneous appearance of the entire left lobe of the thyroid is noted.
Avatar f tn Has he done an Ultrasound to see if you thyroid is enlarged? If you need help in understanding your Labs (Bloodwork) just post them here and members will explain them to you.
Avatar f tn t look like it is), you should do an ultrasound to see if you have a goiter or a possible nodule (if your Tg antibodies are positive....). An enlarged thyroid can also press on your windpipe or your esophagus, which may be responsible for the hoarse voice. What is the reference of your free T3?
Avatar n tn maybe from a goat or horse ?
Avatar f tn I have an enlarged thyroid on the right side. I also get muffled feeling in my ear and have now been told that I have several swollen nodes down the right neck. I am currently being treated for the enlarged thyroid with Levothyroxine and an antibiotic for the swollen glands. In order to determine if your neck pain and adam's apple are thyroid related, you must go to the doctor. I went to several (sorry to say), but am finally being treated.
Avatar m tn In the upper pole the left thyroid there is a 7 x 5 x 3 mm hypoechoic solid nodule without central flow or microcalcifications. No left sided adenopathy is detected. Went to endo, because my brother had papillary thyroid cancer he biopsied one of them. It came back benign. He said to follow up in one year. Now it's one year later and this is the result of my ultrasound: From Apr 2011: Right Thyroid: Nodule #1: mid pole, 1.2 x 0.9 by 1.
