Strange symptoms- what could this be- i'm scared!?!
Question: Strange symptoms- what could this be- i'm scared!.?
About a week ago I started to develop a very noticeable lump on the front of my neck, all around the collar bone area. It's very noticeable and surrounds the whole front of my neck. I thought it could be a goiter but I get plenty of Iodine so that can't be. I also have severe tightness in my throat, and it's getting hard to swallow.
I did make a dr appointment for this afternoon, but i'm really scared. My aunt died of thyroid cancer in her 30's, and now i'm 32, and I just want to know do you think it could be something else.? Do other conditions cause these symptoms.?Health Question & Answer

Answers:
i wouldn't rule out cancer since there is a family history. but i bet it is a goiter and that you have either hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism.
here check to see if you have any of these symtoms.
